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.

In the words of James Baldwin
He said this in 1984, all his life he was told, like you are trying to tell me, it takes time. Incrementalism only helps the ones in power at our expense.
There is no lesser evil, each small amount of evil accepted allows a slightly larger amount of evil next time. Compounded over 50 years that lesser evil now denies theres a genocide occurring in Gaza, it allows an ever growing homeless population, it allows unquestioned income inequality. "Lesser evil' translates to the same evil but impacts me less.
Liberals never ask what is your solution for the intent of knowledge or new information, they ask that to stop the conversation. They believe the only path forward is for reform and reform is the surefire way to guaranteed failure.
