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.

Such a profoundly dense thing to post, it could have only been made up by an American. How can anyone have such compartmentilized view of history is truly beyond me, unless of course they are incredibly ignorant or some kind of Putin's lapdog, like Medvyedev, actively engaged in the denial of atrocites.
The grandfather:
Georgi Markov, Bulgarian screenwriter, poisoned by the secret police.
Jan Zahradníček, Czech poet and writer bound to a wheelchair. Absolutely of no threat to the regime. Tortured and killed.
The 22 000 Polish grandfathers and potentional grandfathers killed simply for the crime of not being born Russian:
Katyn massacre
Fuck fascists, fucking kill them. That includes the officials of whatever totalitarian communist regime you think is "a vibe"
shut the fuck up, you little dupe. The regimes were deliberately evil, there were no 'mistakes'. It provided alternative power structure for uneducated criminals to climb upwards, just like the global capitalist pyramid scheme does.
how do you mistakenly send a wheelchair bound man to rot in prison for writing poetry while his family dies?
fuck your whattaboutism. How does fighting nazism entail 70 year long chauvinist subjugation and russification of entire nations? Do you seriously believe USSR went to fight fascists to hungary in 1956? You think there were secret hitlerites in Prague in 1968? Were dockyard workers in Gdansk gestapo?
"look at germany" i can drive there in a day, cunt. where are you posting from?
