Late Stage Capitalism
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.

Insurance companies pay exorbitant amounts of money to tell politicians that single payer insurance isn’t a feasible option.
Insurance companies lose a lot of money when they have to hire a new CEO because the other one died.
For several months after the UHC CEO was shot, cases were denied significantly less often and were handled much faster than usual. This cost the insurance companies money too.
In other words, if you’d like your vote for single-payer insurance to ever be heard, you have to quit down the really loud insurance companies and the only way to do that is to burn their pockets.
