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.

youre solution is to have family or friends.
family can suck, and its hard to make friends when you are poor, youre friends are also gonna be poor. Go you, who sounds well off, or at least stable, go make friends with someone on the poverty line. How many friend oppourtunties I lost because I was too broke to go do the stuff they do all the time.
also, putting that on your friends is a shit thing to do. and it feels like shit to be "needy". Most folks will let you crash there couch a few weeks max, which isnt enough time to do anything at all, except find the next spot to crash. this kinda life sucks, and is super demoralizing. Now youre just looking for trees you can hang a rope from.
