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.

Got to keep pulling out little snippets without following the entire fucking thread.
It's remarkable people will regurgitate the uyghur bullshit propaganda with zero credible evidence but will ignore that ukrainians are primarily Nazi with tons of evidence
It's amazing how shitlibs always assume the critique of US empire automatically is an endorsement of Putin. BlueMAGA is full of the same delusions as MAGA
BlueMAGA got scratched and turned full throated fascist, as usual
Here's a tiny shred of evidence from this somewhat credible organisation called the UN/OHCHR: https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2022/08/un-human-rights-office-issues-assessment-human-rights-concerns-xinjiang
Would you now present me with 'evidence' that an entire ethnicity is primarily Nazi? Because that sounds awfully racist to me, but what do I know?
Oh hey, nice logic you got here. If I find a nazi in the russian army, is it OK for me to bomb a city or two? What if I find two, what percentage of the Russian territory I am allowed to turn into rubble?
The Soviets near completely eradicated the Baltic intelligentsia by killings and exiles into Siberia. Claiming that all those people had it coming for them is certainly a wild take. Most were exiled for simply being slightly richer than their neighbours.
My wife's grandparents were exiled somewhere near Murmansk, but were returned quite early because grandfather was a millman and Lithuanian SSR was short on those.
Lithuanians in Siberia
Close to me there is a place where on one side of the road, Nazis murdered the Jews and on another side, communists murdered Lithuanian intellectuals. The Nazi side had ruthless efficiency. The Soviet side had inhuman brutality.
Rainiai massacre
It's mostly narcissism with some ignorance.
I used to hang out in alternative communities. And if you listen to people who promote full communism as a good way to run a society, you realize that their entire proposition hinges on there being no "evil" people. Their mind seems to operate on the idea that their society will be so perfect that there wont be any corrupt people who lie, steal, cheat and try to take advantage of others or if they are they will instantly and always be caught.
Same thing with anarchists. They love to talk all flowery and nice about their mostly anarchist commune with 10 people. And just dismiss the idea that it wouldn't work with 10 million.
What do you think could be a better system?
Some sort of hybrid system. On a large scale it's almost impossible to go full communism, capitalism, etc. without the minor flaws compounding and causing issues.
Yes, and AFD is more popular in East Germany.
What's your point?
