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.

psychopathic cops are by-products of a system built by some other people (you know who), so aim your bricks in the right direction if you must. In the game Mario Land of course.

I'm genuinely curious; What do people that hate all cops think would be a better alternative?

Actual accountability for cops. None of this "blue wall" bullshit, and they can lose the "us vs. them" attitude.

The root of the problem is police culture and using police to handle situations that they aren't trained for. People who say ACAB are referring to how current police organizations tend to fire whistle blowers and protect officers who abuse their power.

I got banned from Reddit for expressing nearly the same sentiment

You can't build much with 2 bricks, so maybe I'll throw both

Most bricks are placed by governments to give them a reason to arrest you. Do not brick your protests. (Source: me & past events)
