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
To summarize:
- capitalism always results in the accumulation of wealth in a minority of hands through monopolies and oligopolies.
- once wealth accumulation occurs that minority will always utilize their wealth to manipulate the systems which control all our lives into their favor.
- regulation can be used to redistribute wealth, but is always going to be dismantled eventually through propaganda, lobbying, and bribery. Once dismantled, we're back at square one.
- therefore, capitalism is an irrideemable system which will always reach a failure state.
This is arguable, and honestly this exact bullet point can be made for virtually any political system, but it's most likely what OP's on about.
Yeahhh I don't think that's right.
Whats not right?
Hypercapitalism
You mean
No, just plain capitalism, there are no varying degrees of capitalism
Yes there is
You may be confusing capitalism with democracy.
No not really, I have just lived in a socialist country that became more and more capitalist
