Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

This is why I'm a leftist and not a liberal. You're so close to the point, but missed it. Capitalism and authoritarianism must both vanish.
I'm of the opinion that no political parties should exist, and that we should all vote for policies instead of people. Get communities to vote on issues instead of picking sides like a hockey team. I believe in no hierarchies, and that we should have workers' councils and mutual aid.
I also believe in a self-defence force and guerrilla warfare—rather than a military. I believe in this form of anarcho-communism, rather than any form of actual hierarchical power. Housing, food, healthcare, etc, should be communally owned by everyone.
Feel free to join us, even though I doubt it will happen.
I don't know what you're talking about lol, I am anti-capitalist and anti-authoritarian and I'm not sure how you arrived at any other conclusion since those topics weren't even directly discussed in this thread.
I don't subscribe to anarcho-anything because a sufficiently organized malicious force will always be capable of subduing a sufficiently disorganized benevolent force. You don't organize humans in any relatively efficient manner on the scale of hundreds-of-millions-if-not-billions of people without some degree of hierarchies. Otherwise you'll either drown in bureaucracy while your enemy runs laps around you, or suffer the consequences of randomly selecting unqualified individuals for positions of leadership.
Trump is VERY authoritarian is the thing. Not only is he pro-violence like liberals, he also wants to control what people do at all times.
Yes, I hate Trump.
I just don't hate him any more or less than the equally-imperialist, equally-capitalist, equally-genocidal Democrats. He's just more "mask off". JD Thiel took a stronger stand against Israel than Holocaust Harris ever did ffs. AND AGAIN, that's not me supporting Trump/Vance, it's just illustrating that the Democrats are not substantially better when it comes to imperialism killing people.
