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.

Yeah to be honest no one really cares about the picture on the left. To be clear, they are paying to be there with their own personal wealth. Now you could make the arguement that that wealth was misappropriated but it's not coming directly from the public purse.
There are plenty of examples of abusive power that could have been provided, but that isn't one of them. That's just an example of the wealthy being tasteless.
Picture in the left was this last weekend at Windsor Castle, state banquet for Trump. None of them paid to be there
Shite. Who's paying for those Beefeaters? Pretty sure it's mine and your taxes.
Being tasteless is perfectly acceptable on a social level.
