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. This includes instance shaming.

We’re like a family may also = nepotism.
I'm always amused whenever I see a company advertise itself as "family-owned". Every family-owned company I've ever worked for has been run by a competent but morally bankrupt founder and his dirt-stupid but morally bankrupt children.
My favorite one of these was a company that imploded because the founder was banging his son's wife (who was also the mother of his grandchildren). This was considered unremarkable in Louisiana.
Been there done that (except perhaps the son's wife banging thing - that I know of). The founder desesperately wanted his son as the boss and his daughter as HR. Except the son was stupid and mean, and the daughter was a bit brighter but even more machiavellous. The son made only yes-men stay under him, the morale went down everywhere. The company went bankrupt shortly after I left. I was not unhappy about the outcome.
