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. This includes instance shaming.

Calling american wagie a slave, will get you kicked out of the party lol

Most people are denial. Fediverse is not reflective of modern American discourse.

I dont give a shit what most people think. Its a fact not an opinion. Our systems are built on coercion because we're just making slight changes to them over time. Thats why they are that way. It has nothing to do with the thoughts that talking heads plant in the average Americans' mind.

Edit: reading this after posting I would just like to clarify that I am not trying to be pointed or angry with you. It comes off that way tho. I really do mean we have the choice in how our societies operate.

I don't take online discourse personal, all good.

really do mean we have the choice in how our societies operate.

I don't even disagree here in theory... In practice, it is hard to explain it this way though.

We are ruled, and our opinions mean nothing and most people are unwilling to do any opposition.

So it is just few freedom enjoyer doing their lil direct action while scream into the fedi void while we are increasingly being subjugated by the owner class.

And the normie sees nothing wrong and thinks the freedom enjoyer is the weird one.

People who use the term "most people" are usually full of shit in my experience.

(Guess who the commander-in-chief is of the "most people" crowd)
