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.

'want a job? Go work unpaid and then maybe you might have a chance' Really solid advice for people who can't even afford to live on the job they have.
I didn't say work unpaid, I said to go to meetings, play golf, etc. I mentioned volunteering for an event, but that's limited, it's not working an actual job for free.
Networking is important for much more than just getting a job, that's why people still do it when they already have a good job they love. They do it to learn more, expand their influence, etc. Even if it doesn't directly lead to a job, it will make you more familiar with your industry, and the players in it, which is important for young workers.
When you are unemployed, you are better off trying ANYTHING, than sitting at home, proud of yourself for not letting anyone take advantage of you. They'd have to know you even exist for them to do that.
