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.

muricans calling everything communism that isn't gop cock sucking is getting old
Whos trains are those ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ the world may never know
Are they belong to a stateless moneyless society? It would be very embarrassing for you if they aren't.
Would it be? True it's not communist but also China doesn't claim to be. They claim it as an aspiration not as a current state of affairs. However we are random internet people. Are we really going to explain to every dumbass how China isn't communist, only a vanguard state hoping to evolve into one in the future according to the chain of events described in the communist manifesto?
No. Cause that's a waste of time. Being angry that all that context wasn't added is pedantic because we ain't operating with strict definitions that everyone agrees to. We are working with cultural vibe checks. And as far as culture is concerned, China is communist.
Did you have a stroke writing that? It makes zero sense
yeah we almost got a high speed rail system but some dipshit from south africa decided to build a shitty tunnel instead
The more I read about Boring Company the more annoyed I am.
Communism is when trains run on time
’Communism is when communal efforts produce results.’
Accidentally correct, you dolt.
Well, America is so communist then, it's not even close. None of their results were the result of any individual, it's always a communal effort.
The only non-communism is a small personal garden, as long as there are more than two people working on something, it's communism because community.
Either that, or the word communism means something very different, you dolt
Yes. All of our successes are the result of communal effort. It’s not communism because the means of production are controlled by a small group of people, who also absorb all of the excess wealth created from the communal efforts.
Reply back please. Your self-owns are cracking me up.
Daamn, you're so close to the point I was making, you can almost taste it. Now you need to actually engage with it in good faith, for real. I don't expect you do though.
Close. Put the capitalist train on its side, spilling hazardous waste into a community water source.
Capitalism (good) Vs Capitalism (bad)
FTFY
Capitalism with literal slave labor vs capitalism that outsources the literal slave labor or calls them prisoners with jobs
and I wouldn't want to live in neither the US nor China
Capitalism with literal slave labor
You're talking about the US prison population, right?
prisoners with jobs
Capitalism (with speedy trains) vs capitalism (with slow trains)
FTFY
