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.

Cool analogy, bro.
Even in your scenario, the car is broken because you haven't been doing the proper maintenance, and you'll never afford that other car because you're currently working for a different kind of currency than what's accepted where you live.
But I do accept you'd rather do business with the scrap metal dealer and leave yourself with no mode of transportation than fix your fucking car.
The car mechanic you are advocating for is corrupt as fuck. Does bandaid quality work then breaks something else so you have to come back for future repairs.
I love that even two leftists together can't come up with the idea of fixing the car themselves. Maybe bc on a subconscious level they know they're not capable ๐
Because the mechanic on duty is corrupt and self serving
