Late Stage Capitalism
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.

Here in Sweden everybody pays for everybody's health insurance because it doesn't go through the employer
(*there's the option to offer extra coverage for the few things that aren't free/tax paid or for base costs before standard coverage kicks in)
So for that same reason you also don't pay double to cover other companies (unless they hire under the table entirely)
Yeah, I'm jealous.
Here in the US we have been largely brainwashed as a population by our education system and mainstream media to misunderstand how universal health care works, and people here honestly think that the price gouging and private health care system serve a purpose, even though they're all wrong. They also are largely unaware that countries with universal health care still have private and concierge health care for people who want to pay for it.
It's frustrating.
It's also the racism. A lot of shit heads would rather personally die than have their preferred hierarchy be upended and have black people have anything nice.
Racism is close to the root of our problems
