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
Protests themselves are just us saying we're trying the peaceful option first. They hold no real power in their action except with the danger of violence.
They’re supposed to be, yes.
When you show no sign of escalation while fascism creeps for 25+ years, you’re just doing parades.
This is my problem with the No Kings protests. Plenty will say they're open to more radical forms of protest instead of just walking around with signs, but when you bring up escalating to violence or appearing to escalate soon by surrounding the signs with armed protestors, they chicken out and tell you they can't do that cause they're scared how the state will react.
