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.

Seriously, used is amazing especially for home goods. Most kitchen items can be found for a song at decent thrift shops (though that isn't what it used to be.) If you're patient, you can furnish a house to a pretty functional level just off the free section of Craigslist. And if you're willing to buy used on Craigslist, you can fill your home with solid wood furniture for less than the cost of buying cardboard stuff from IKEA.
My one rule for buying used is "nothing permeable unless I can throw it in the washing machine." Used clothes are fine, as I can throw them in the wash immediately after bringing them home from the thrift store. Furniture made of wood, metal, or plastic? Non-permeable, so I'm not worried about infestations. But couches, mattresses, etc? Never buying that used.
