A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc.

Change and change has never come about via electoral politics, it has come about via mutual aid and class solidarity.
The only thing built into politics is defending the current systems of oppression, participating in and defending those systems prevents change and progress.
Man I don't know if you're talking about United States politics, but it has definitely seen change come about via electoral politics. Many times.
As for russia or whatever - yeah that may be, I dunno.
None of this conversation is about anything other than the US. Not a single one of our rights have been a result of electoral politics. Every right has been fought for tooth and nail, often times with the deaths of many people
Wow. That's . . . really wrong.
