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, anti-communism, 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.

A lot of people are capitalists when it comes to chipping in but are socialists when it comes to getting a hand out
Ghisline Maxwell’s dad published our textbooks
It's true.
And all the bad consequences they told you would result from it are pretty much what capitalism is doing all the time.
Obviously, this is Russina propaganda. They are jealous of our freedom and prosperity. This is just a try to confuse us into becoming gay communists, so our military degrades and they can use their Mexican and Canadian proxy cells to take over our god-given country.
i don't hate communism. i hate the version of it that has left lasting damage on my country after 45 years.
Not all communism must be authoritarian. Any and all authoritarians must be burned at the stake for the common good. Only then can we have a peaceful society.
Had an exchange that went like
"The workers don't know how to run the business"
"Did the owner tell you that?"
"... shit."
I've worked for some small businesses that the owners themselves could not be trusted to run operations without fucking everything up.

Also workers don't have to run the business, they can elect / delegate someone to do that.
If that owners managerial skills are truly necessary for the business' survival then they should have no problem explaining that to their fellow workers and getting elected to manage. They just won't get all the profit...
I feel like capitalism with strong regulation and social safety nets is the way to go tbh. Good laws that allow for the thriving of coops and stuff. It's just kinda hard to maintain that without a recent memory of a cataclysmic war, ig.
Terms like Capitalism and Socialism mean different things to different people. Yes, there are official or academic definitions you could reference. I'd argue that the larger movement of socialism is less about a well-defined prescription of how to run a society and more about criticism of capitalism, its consequences, and finding better alternatives. It's about diluting the power of the wealthy (the capitalist or owner class, those who are hoarding the power and wealth) as much as possible and using democracy to distribute that power among the working classes to create a more fair and just society.
What aspects of capitalism make you feel it is a better way to organize society?
What aspects of socialism make you feel it is inferior?
we are in an manmade mass extinction event.
so capitalism where capital doesn't bestow social power. maybe the capital should be owned by the people so it can't be exploited against them.
What's more depressing than socialist architecture? Homelessness and starvation in a land with plenty.
