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.

Liberals are not leftists.
Let’s not resort to racism! All liberals are fucking like this.
I'm a white liberal and I think civil disobedience, violence against officials/ice, and revolution work.
Surely most people have realized by now the Democratic officials (most, anyway) are actually Republicans.
They won't help us.
Poll approval numbers seem to indicate most Americans are aware of this.
Many are ramping up to take matters into their own hands if the legal way continues to not be used appropriately to fix the issue.
If you're in favour of radical changes and militant resistance, leftist might be a better label than liberal. Among srs leftists liberal doesn't have the same meaning that it does in American corporate media.
This exactly.
I wish it was possible to try to vote away fascists and do direct action at the same time. Sadly we live in a binary, do one thing at a time world...
So how else is it going to work? Do you think violent authoritarianism is a solution to overcome violent authoritarianism?
A bullet through the head of every fascist, red or blue, now until the end of time will do the trick. No compromises or letting them squirm away.
And who decides who gets shot? And how do you prevent people from using this to settle personal scores? And how is that not going to end in a worse system than what you started with?
people use the current mechanisms of society to settle personal scores. why do you think it can be prevented, or is necessary to have a revolution?
You shoot every billionaire and anyone who values profits over human beings (judging them based on their actions, not their words). This includes investors that try to drive the rich assholes into being even worse to their employees than they already are.
So, murdering people based on vibes. Yeah, figures.
When they're perpetuating violence actively and readily, the only response is violence through defense. But you seem to be coming here with a both sides view of things. Insert meme of a liberal thinking egalitarianism and genocide are the same thing.
You gotta escalate, really put some effort into your memes.
