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.

In my opinion, hoarding real estate is even more heinous than these tech billionaires who “merely” hoard money.
Shelter is a basic human need. Money is merely a means to an end.
It's on the same level as dumping food in a dumpster and pouring bleach on it because it expires soon and so that hungry people can't eat it.
An old manager got fired because she donated food to a homeless shelter when instructed to open it all and pour the liquids down the drain and the food into a trash can with the pink mystery cleaner whose MSDS mysteriously went missing in all the stores I went to.
As with many things, it just served to further radicalized me.
In a just world that would be a criminal act and your old manager would be doing something normal and unremarkable
Indeed. In a sane world, it would be standard practice to donate foods long before expiration dates and nobody would need to dig through garbage hoping for scraps of a meal.
In this world though, The administrative assistant started donating everything and planned things strategically so the new store manager and district managers wouldn't know, and anyone watching cameras would think we're just helping her taking our normal trash out.
She kept it up through 5 or 6 managers before I left. As far as I know, nobody ever caught on that the empty bottles by the sink were just what a few of the employees drank every day, or the wrappers often weren't even products we sell.
It's insane the hoops some have to jump through just to donate food that nobody wants
Apparently someone with an AR-15 agreed with us as well 😁
But what you you think they invest their money in?
Yatchs.
Drugs.
Child rape.
