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.

When I actually looked at what was sucking up a third off my paycheck taxes was actually a fairly small portion. Most of it was paying united Healthcare to make me switch psychiatrists which I had to do twice because the first one (who I had to try first) was a telepsychiatrist who could immediately tell that I can't be managed that way. Whoever is going to claim responsibility for this clusterfuck needs to see me in person at least once a year plus a few times more I look particularly shitty. I could have told them that without having to risk somebody who doesn't know me getting me committed... twice in under a month!
noice 👏
Who says we arent mad about both, but we are more complicit with the green bit, thats what makes our cars, phones, and all the things "they" need us to have to be efficient workers.

Honest question: say it gets divided, who will decide on the right margin the company run with?
Who is the company?
We can pick Cooler Master for example
The yellow vs green circle is what I've chosen to sell my time for. It's a choice.
The taxes portion is also a choice, but I only get to choose whether and how much to fund schools and hospitals and accessible healthcare on a 5 year ticket.
I'm only glad that the bundle i pick that goes status-quo on healthcare and schools is also the one that doesn't hate brown people or women AND has a chance of getting to run the show.
Sorry, I forgot what we were talking about. How does anarchy fund accessible healthcare again?
So are you actually interested in what anarchism looks like or just going for a gotcha because based on you calling it anarchy I'm guessing the second one.
Chose, so you weren't born into it but migrated into it? For lack of a better choice?
The late stage anarchy threat is over there. Here we criticize capitalism. Or are you looking for the apathics anonymous? Or the bootlickers forums?
Because basically nobody you know can even do their own taxes or read above an 8th grade level? Fucking nobody you ask has an answer to a best estimate of their "total economic value". Anyone who CAN give that estimate is outside the target audience of this post.
Should people be paid more? For sure yes. Do you think the target audience of this post can even accurately tell you the value of both gross income and AGI? Lol no.
