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.

Man Im so tired of all the little labels we’re putting on people and belief. I swear I didnt know leftist vs. liberal were a thing. I thought they were one and the same. Like liberal exists inside the leftist sphere.
But I do think the system overall of profits above all is rotting. I saw a documentary of small impoverished towns residing all over the United States. Elderly and children hungry. Parents living with only one meal per day.
Its wild too that people have to file so much paperwork to even get food assistance. And if the state is too slow to process your paperwork before deadlines because they are understaffed, you just lose your benefits.
Richest country in the world with elites letting land and people to rot in the shadows. It feels nauseating seeing it at this level.
If there is a God, he just needs to smite already. Im tired of this inhumane system.
Liberals and leftists are polar opposite of the political scale. We do not want any of the same things. Liberals want to work within the confines of the exploitive capitalist system. They don't mind homeless as long as there are shelters provided. They don't mind poverty as long as their social services like snap available. They don't mind that there are billionaires exploiting our personal wealth and putting it in their pocket off the backs of our labor as long as they are taxed. Leftists socialists and Communists do not want any of that
