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.

Is that really all you got? This IS America Liberalism. You don't see a lot of liberals because it's a hard thing to live up to.
But this speech is absolutely the core of what American Liberals are.
It's only a hard thing to live up to if you're not even trying. Liberals love talking a big game about how supportive they are, how inclusive they are, how determined they are to protect the rights of the marginalized while doing everything they can to keep those groups marginalized. The exact same claims that liberals try to make today about their party or the same claims they tried to make about their party 200 years ago. Your party will always represent capital and its exploitation of the working class
my party? what party? I don't have a party.
Defend liberals and people have to assume you are one.
Sure, I'll accept I am liberal and progressive and probably a socialist. But I don't have a party to represent me. I can lean on the Democratic party but that gets me as far as it gets Sanders. So I have to be an independent that generally voters D
Because I am not voting for a Republican
Claiming that you are liberal or progressive and maybe a socialist is like a atheist Christian or a vegan carnivore, liberal and socialist are polar opposites on the political scale
No it isn't. You need to take a course in Political Science.
The left starts at anti-capitalism liberals are not anti-capitalist they prop up the system that socialists and Communists want to tear down that same system that exploits our labor while patting the pockets of the wealthy. Today's liberals are first-term Trump Republicans
"American liberalism is mostly hypothetical" isn't the own you think it is.
What makes you think I am trying to "own"? Thanks for the cringe bro. Crawl back behind your tank
