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
Fuck the GOP for sure but it's hard to still believe in a two-party system without seeing both parties as eerily similar.
Both parties are charged with keeping their 330 million people maximally productive. The US isn't the richest country in the world without reason.
The country is rich, the people aren't.
To be fair, the US isn't rich so much because of its own productivity, but through being the world's largest empire, plundering from the global south.
A two party state is a one party state with another step.
Seriously though, don't want to be cynical- there is a massive difference between the two parties. One is a meek bureaucrat, the other a convicted serial rapist, and quite literally.
That’s the thing a lot of people are rich, enough anyway to keep the dream alive.
2 wings of the same bird.
