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.

The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.
How about liberals try not equating Communism and Nazism for once? I bet you own a house.
He just said, "I bet you own a house" as if it was some sort of gotcha. Nothing this person says will have any credibility.
Communism is bad. Socialism is good.
Spoken by someone that doesn't understand socialism
Communism is the political and economic model where the totality of the individual's profits are taken by the community for the community's well being. Socialism is the political and economic model where a society ensures the individual's well being by providing the basic necessities. Examples of this include food stamps or socialized health care. So, please, impart your wisdom on how I am wrong.
That's welfare capitalism, or "social democracy" (which a couple hundred years ago was actually a synonym for communism, but nowadays refers to welfare capitalism), aka "the nordic model", not socialism. What socialism and communism actually are is a longer discussion.
You have the liberal definition of socialism. Socialism is early stage communism.
Really? So every other developed country has it and is falling to communism? I am sure their socialized medicine is just the death nail in civilized society. Is that why our healthcare is so expensive and terrible? Maybe they should get with the program and have its citizenry be bankrupted by getting hit by a car.
You have a liberal understanding of things you dont understand
