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.

Don't make perfect the enemy of good
"genocide is good"
tiny steps in the right direction no steps back
One tiny one?
That's the problem with incrementalism. It only marches to the right.
There are no purity tests, there is socialist and then there are right wing fascists, Democrats fall within that category.
But, but, but, the revolution has to be violent and there has to be blood!
They couldn’t even give up their slaves, give black people rights without blood, you think they’ll allow their power to be taken peacefully?
Do you think we have no blood now? That homeless aren’t dying in the winter, that CEOs aren’t denying 90 percent of claims?
You are right, so keep destroying the building before anything can get built.
Because that has worked SOO great so far.
When you alianate people, they shut you out.
That's how that works, it's not rocket science.
But tankies are so stupid, they think, "Oh, they'll come around, I just need to be a bigger asshole/gatekeeper."
Something's gotta give. The liberal approach doesn't work. All they do is collude with Republicans.
