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.

Also, the owning class does not want workers to have more time and energy to build a cohesive community that supports each other through mutual aid and is able to organize a struggle against the existing system that will end in expropriating the means of production/supply
%100. Whenever there is a tech breakthrough, the first thing shareholders ask is how can they leverage it to maximise their profit which generally means same/more output with a smaller workforce.
And that's why China just made it illegal to replace workers with AI
because it is irresponsible and AI doesn't exist. We are the dataset, ol chat gipity is a parlor trick.
If it is not a mass movement it will just get beaten back. Dope meme
We are passive players in a perverse, inhumane, unholy game of the most anti social. Companies in our feudal system have decided that we are unnecessary.. to beat down wages as they lower the bar and put responsibility out of reach but hand out consequence to those uninvolved. I will smash your sandcastle so now my sandcastle is the only one left.
"no boss ever has said, 'ah, now that these machines have production more efficient, i guess i can let my workers work less.' only class struggle shortens labor time."

Worker-owned-businesses make decisions differently.
Simply imagine being 1st in a owners/managers/disposable-wage-slaves operation,
then imagine being in a completely worker-owned business.
Consider the totally-different paradigm of decisions, rooted in totally-different motivation for those decisions.
False-dichotomy isn't The Answer that we've been programmed to believe it to be.
Compete-against the money-leveraged-parasitism paradigm properly, & different-results must become inevitable.
Motivation really is significant.
Consistent pattern-of-action really is significant.
Such things, through years, do build different civilizations/societies.
Downvote away, for my violating of ideology, but truth is truth, & fact is fact.

This is neither truth or fact
