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.

Oh I wonder why that isn't brought up more, what with right wing governments and their love of privatizing utilities.
Hungary's Fidesz even managed to do it in a way they can communicate it to different audiences that they have both nationalized and privatized it, by selling it to a Hungarian oligarch, but buying back 25% of it immediately to nationalize the losses. Fidesz managed to get a lot of former old tankies as voters by saying they're boing to build a "work-based society".
What dreadful perfidy. I guess the socialists and communists weren't fooled, at least? What a debate that must have been.
