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.

You gotta start somewhere.
I am sure you are very aware of how selfish Americans are.
Liberalism is the first step for normies to start engaging with politics in the right direction.
As people learn more about the nuances of politics they CAN become leftists, which has a pretty wide range of ideas on HOW to change America.
You can shit on the people who are not as far left as you are, causing division and making the right wing's job that much easier, or you can have conversations with those people and show them the evils of the current system and why we should strive to improve it further.
Most people get invested in politics because they know that change is needed, either though something happening to them or someone close to them.
I think the majority of people truly invested in maintaining the current system are grifters, the elite, and politicians holding power.
Maybe you guys can educate yourselves a little more and stop your own division. The world is tired of your bullshit, they are not trying to keep you devided, they are telling you this is enough.
Comprehensive reform of the American education system would be awesome!
Sadly, it will take time both to do and take affect, regardless of how or even if it happens.
This NoKings bullshit isnt starting somewhere, its neutralizing momentum, keeping it in a state of arrested development by giving the illusion that they exercised their right to protest
