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.

Ah gotcha. I gotta figure it out for you. We'll get back to me when you have strategy, coalitions, anything. Right now it seems we have a collection of edge lord teenagers on Lemmy wearing che Guevara shirts.
You have to figure it out for you, we're doing alright out where I am lol
At least I get to be a teenager at 30, that's some consolation I suppose?
I mean...you keep confirming what I assumed to be true. There is no plan. No plan to build political power. No plan to build coalitions. Nothing. Just posting feel good diatribes on Lemmy from your iPhone. You want me to grow a vegetable garden? That's it? Cool.
Political power starts from the bottom.
I'm on like a 10 year old laptop lol
Yes, I want you to grow a vegetable garden. I also want you to try LSD and magic mushrooms.
Sure. I love these empty platitudes. They feel good on paper, don't they? I too am growing a vegetable garden. Let's jerk each other off while we read some leninist theory. Cool cool. I know that's about as much lefties can get done anyway.
Did you drop acid yet? Usually people who do are either less annoying or at least annoying in a different way, so I'm guessing not.
Also I've never read Lenin or Marx or any theory really (yet), I just worked warehouse and temp and other shit jobs so I got first-hand experience. You're really really bad at this whole "trying to read my character and make pointed comments" thing you're doing. Like one of the worst I've ever seen. You landed zero out of three so far.
No, I just get tired of sanctimonious lefties telling us to "grow vegetable gardens" because "power is built from the ground up" or whatever other empty vacuous platitudes they fellate each other with day in and out. It's so fake
You were so bad at taking stabs in the dark that you just had to quote me verbatim in an attempt to be insulting lol
Take that acid, it's a prescription at this point.
Same old same old... More self aggrandizing lecturing. Lefties are only good for one thing: fellating each other 24/7. Get back to me when the revolution starts.
Now you're just repeating yourself. Dull!
I've talked to probably hundreds of lefties online. None. I mean none. Can seem to give an adequate roadmap of what ought to be done. Where do you see the ideal US in 15 years and how do we get there? I see lots of grandstanding and pontificating, but nothing that resembles a roadmap. But, boy, you guys sure have lots of opinions about everything it seems. At least you proferred "vegetable gardens", so I'll give you that. It's a lot more than others have shared. And that really says something, doesn't it?
Acid yet?
