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.

MODERATORS
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?
Destroying which building? A building that facilitates taking the spoils of imperialism? A building that exploits poverty for the sake of shareholders, resulting in, by some estimates, 200,000 deaths every year? A building that enacts more violence than it would take to deatroy?
Yes, definitely destroy it before it gets built. That's hardly a question.
Communists are not the reason capitalism is failing.
You sarcastically suggested that communists are "destroying the building before anything can get built," right? Maybe I misunderstood and the building is actually some nebulous "progressive movement," rather than capitalism itself. In that case, sorry for misunderstanding, but it's still a bad point IMO. Communists attacking social democracy as ineffective isn't destroying the movement, it's trying to push people towards more effective practice.
Why will there be no revolution? Is a Civil War not also a class conflict?
Are you sure? Capitalist infighting usually happens when each has dramatically different bases, such as slave labor in the southern US vs. Industrial labor in the northern US. We have to understand that the Civil War was in many ways driven by revolting slaves.
