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
When you insist that it’s what is going to happen under every other system and it happens under yours too that ends up being that you didn’t make a fucking point at all.
You just wasted our fucking lives for decades over a warning that ended up happening under your system anyways.
At any fucking point if you wanna shut the fuck up, that would be fucking great.
This is the biggest example of nonsense being treated as fact just because it got repeated enough
Nelson Mandela, though frankly I'd love to see your examples of power metaphysically "corrupting" people like it's the one ring in the first place
And there goes the goal posts. God almighty then.
Please show me where Che Guevara achieved absolute power, you historically illiterate chud. Or where he was fucking "corrupted" by it , for that matter.
For that matter, show that any of those people achieved absolute power and then are "corrupted" by it, given none of them changed at all in terms of character or ideology.
???
What exactly do you think 'moving the goalposts' actually means?
No it doesn't, please actually explain how you think that link supports your argument that Che was "corrupted" by gaining power. (And yes, I know you didn't actually read it, you're just posting a link hoping nobody will bother to check.
How is that remotely relevant to your claim that gaining power "corrupted" them?
Yeah, you don't seem to be sure what we're talking about here. What does any of that have to do with you original claim?
????
Are you a malfunctioning AI? Just stringing sentences together at random? For the love of God, please try to articulate a coherent fucking argument.
What the fuck are you talking about? You're just having a conversation in your own head at this point
