I wish it was possible to get lesser evilists to think rationally and critically examine their ideology, but they've so internalized their ideology as "rational" that they can't even recognize it as an ideology at all. They are exactly the sort of irrational, blind dogmatists they accuse everyone else of being.

@Objection @K1nsey6 Its wild 40+ years of neoliberalism where everything gets more and more right wing economically and the fascists are back and in power.

Yet they don't examine what actually is happening or why and somehow its the Leftists fault.

When things go wrong, blame just gets redirected to the enemies and the only possible takeaway is to double down on what they were already doing. The doubt you have when praying doesn't work is probably what caused it not to work in the first place, you just have to have faith. Your criticism of neoliberalism is the reason the Democrats can't win hard enough to deliver on anything. Put the blinders on, don't think, don't look around, just keep on keeping on, tighten your belts for now and trust that things will work out somehow. The rise of the far-right is surely just a momentary fluke, not the result of anything structural, and it will be resolved when everyone simply comes to their senses, any minute now. Anyone who says otherwise is a Russian bot or a secret Trump supporter, seeking to lead you astray from the true faith.

Ideology is a hell of a drug.

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.
