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.

Broski, how do you think gay people got rights?
How long ago did they march, gain acceptance widely... When did gay marriage become legal?
These things didnt happen that long ago, what do you mean 'nothing' came of these movements...
You simply miss perspective, surely?
In the last century, we got civil rights, women's rights (to vote, to own a bank account, to divorce, to abort), gay rights and well...
You guys have started to lose some of those... But they happened within the last century, they were movements that were successful.
So clearly popular movements work and you need to readjust your expectations. These things are difficult and take time, you must win the hearts and minds before you can adjust the legislature.
Complying preemptively is how you lose everything and fascists win.
