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.

All landlords are housing scalpers. That's all they are. Making private profit money off a finite resource that other people, normally the most vulnerable classes of people, need to survive.
If people want to invest in owning property, buy industrial and commercial land. Nobody needs a warehouse or an office building to live. They need houses to live.
But residential landlords won't do that because managing an industrial commercial property means you're dealing with a business, people with negotiating power, knowledge of law and rights, and the ability to enforce them, which is too hard. Landlords only want to exploit poorer, (financially and time-wise) people.
