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, anti-communism, 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
You’re not too cynical. You embrace reality.
Trusting in people — when they’re conditioned as you perfectly stated — is a fool’s errand.
Maybe a pinch of optimism can't hurt... We managed to get here from the caves. We do need to pay as much attention to the inner work as we pay to the outer work, though. Maybe that's our next evolutionary leap.
Interesting thought about evolutionary leaps. How is it that some made the leap but not all? Will they ever?
We probably won't get to see, at least through our own current eyes. Evolution occurs under environmental pressures, right? Survival of the fittest speaks to adaptation, not brute force, as far as I understand it. And what may be a seemingly harmful mutation today is tomorrow's clever adaptation.
Imagine apes' early emergence of opposable thumbs. I wonder if mothers at first thought they were tumors and left young to die, or chewed the growth off the paw?
Maybe the fireworks mishap crowd is just a cousin from a previous generation. /s
I appreciate your response. I find this all so interesting. Cheers.
I appreciate the exchange as well. Cheers!
Eta: Maybe the fireworks mishap crowd is just a cousin from a previous generation [full stop, because we all are).
If I were my own cousin I’d be the coolest damned cousin I’d ever seen! Unlike City Ryan, with his opposable thumbs!
15th cousins, 25th removed, I should have clarified!
