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.

MODERATORS
About a third to a quarter of Americans are fine with this and stand to profit from it (or they think they do). The rest, while the majority, has no political power to affect meaningful change.
Outside of your local elections, at least.
In a national context, you're right.
Effect*
For the down voters, they're right. This is one of the few circumstances where effect is used as a verb.
The Ratchet Effect, baby.
Dig it.
You are being fucked by the dominant class and the majority of you are ok with it!
So far.
But under communism you have no dreams
Other countries are communist?
You'd share OUR dreams
