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
No offense, but for the population at large, was there a meaningful choice?
The side that really wanted this might have been a smaller minority than the ones that did not, but ultimately they were not only far for violent (in every meaning of the word and method) but also had control of the police and the courts, meaning murderers routinely got away with it while the opposing leadership and even rank and file got murdered, received very long prison sentences that removed them from society entirely, or even got framed for murders and executed or lynched for it.
The average person does not now, or have they ever, dictated anything. Also as it stands there is no such thing as an 'average' person by any metric.
