Late Stage Capitalism
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.

FDR wasn't a socialist. He wasn't even a social democrat by any standard but US-brain rot.
Government providing jobs to the unemployed, minimum wage, labor laws, social security... Blocked by the Republicans and a bunch of red Democrats when he wanted to do more...
I'm saying he's a socialist as he was in favour of government intervention to help the population, he wasn't a communist and might have been a social-liberal, it's still on the socialist spectrum.
Socialism is when the government does stuff after all
When it does stuff like create social programs? Yeah.
That explains the most socialist institution to ever exist, the American military industrial complex. It's a job program!
