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, 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.

I mean we could both list 100 reasons why our current capitalist system is actively harmful to humanity but that's not what I'm trying to talk about.
I think people hoard for more reasons than just artificial scarcity. Not all of those reasons are rational either. I don't believe that if we could provide food, water, and shelter to everyone that we would eliminate that fear.
Everyone might be satisfied now, but what about the future? Something could happen. We need to act now to secure our future! You don't even need someone to actually be afraid, just a bad actor who stokes fears in others.
So you're going to take the exceptions and make them the rule. No.
This is how it is, now.
Was literally just trying to give you a basic example to help you understand an idea but I can see now that was a complete waste of time.
