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.

Those are perpetuated by the stupidity and gullibility described above.
so what exactly is your solution, magically making people not be gullible?
you're just perpetuating the idea that there's nothing to be done, you're saying these things so you don't have to think about the uncomfortable reality that things are as they are for a reason, that we can and should be taking action to change the systems that promote misery.
Did I claim to have a solution..?
I do think that teaching empathy and logic so that the children may understand the world and society is a good idea that would drastically reduce the number of people that fall into the category of "gullible idiot."
How do we do that? What are the specifics? No clue. But teach people how to learn for fucks sake.
Also you are projecting a lot of your own shit onto me I think. I made a pretty simple comment and you read a fucking fanfic.
Gullible to believe that we can‘t change anything? Who told you that? Capitalists!
I was saying that the gullible are to blame for us still having those problems.
