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
hypothetically, if Columbus journey would have sunk in a storm.
How long would it have been until another European would have tried?
10 years, 50years? a century??
or maybe an asian expedition reaching across the Bering straight would have found it?
Would the meme be a hiccup in history, or a significant change?
If the second fleet to Sydney had lost one more ship, the whole colony would have died of starvation and the British would have redirected their efforts to a tiny island north of New Zealand instead of trying to make Australia viable.
Maybe 10 years, everyone was scrambling to find a short route to India for spices and other goods, Portugal and Spain were fairly set on going West to India, even if a few expeditions failed it wouldn’t have stopped them.
