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.

If I did something to prevent the fifty first death camp and you did nothing, I will sleep soundly.
Show me a path to 0 death camps and I will work towards it.
If you act alone, all you can ever do is wait for the next election to vote for 50 death camps to stop 51 death camps.
Protesters in Minnesota didn't wait around for the next election to get ICE off their streets. They fought back, and ICE was forced to retreat. They didn't vote Bovino out, they forced him out. The fight isn't over, but waiting until an election that might never come is not how you stop the death camps. Don't sleep soundly between every election, wake the fuck up.
I think there's a miscommunication here. Electoralism isn't mutually exclusive with direct action, so minimizing harm when elections come about while fighting the system on between is the best outcome right?
In practice, people protest hardest against candidates they didn't support in the election.
You can walk and chew gum. Voting is low effort. The heroes in Minnesota can vote too.
Can't stay awake without a good night's rest.
Voting for 50 death camps is a lot more effort than you're acknowledging; voting for the "lesser evil" is extremely demoralizing when the lesser evil wins. People in Minnesota would stay home if Harris was president, even if she implemented exactly the same immigration policies as Trump, because they voted for her. Voting is what gives governments their legitimacy.
I voted for the lesser evil in 2020 and then the lesser evil went on to start a genocide. That's not low effort.
Sounds like you didn't vote in 24. How did that work out?
