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.

Transaction costs in my country for the most popular digital payment method are between 0.05 and 0.09 euros per transaction. At an average of 0.07 €/transaction, that's 1428 transactions before a 100€ is reached. To me, that seems like a small price to pay for some added security and convenience for store keepers.
How can I go to the sex shop and the bathhouse and buy shrooms if I don't have cash?

Ouch for that 100$.
A bill doesn't rip that easily, so I'm guessing that was worth the exact amount of paper it was printed on.
I'm not a conspiracy theorist by any means, but I do think everyone should read The Creature from Jekyll Island. While I don't think it's 100% correct, it does bring up some very relevant points.
