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. This includes instance shaming.

MODERATORS
What you're describing is basically how active shooters are born, including school shooters. And this is also why there are more active shooters in the US than in the next 50+ countries combined.
Inequality leads to crime. A system that exploits citizens at every step leads to active shooters. These phenomena are so well known and documented, it's physically impossible for the current and previous 10 American governments not to be and have been aware of the issue. They must have simply deemed it an acceptable cost.
Absolutely agreed. But the arms industries are worth more and have more influence than American lives. Including children. We live in the cyberpunk 2077 prequel.
