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, 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.

Someone has to grow the food. That's a job.
Gardening is totally something people do for free.
Subsistance farming is not what I would call gardening. The amount of planting, tending, harvesting and canning required to feed a family of 4 is a full-time job during the growing season. Nevermind all the other homemaking chores.
So get robots to do it. I never said anything about subsistence farming. But if we keep up with the idea of everyone needing a job we’ll never get to a place where nobody has to work.
We’ve already automated so much of it that just 1% of the population farming grows more than enough food for everyone.
I'm with you, and I agree. But the 1% doing all the hard work are going to have a real problem with the communists choosing "art therapy" as their activity. I think automation is the future.
Okay, so reduce it by another order of magnitude and everybody does a long weekend farming every ten years
Farms are actually one of the industries seeing some of the most automation. The biggest issue right now is just harvesting.
