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.

Well thats demonstrably not true, I dont get punished if i dont shop with amazon.
You don't get punished if you give up your citizenship and move to another country, and then stop paying taxes to America. You don't get punished if you decide to be homeless instead of paying your landlord 2K/mo to exist.
But realistically, you don't have a meaningful amount of choice when it comes to the bourgeoisie/government due to the difference in power.
Oh ofcourse, righhhhht just set sail and abandon all family and friends OOOORRR be homeless.
You've certainly proved me wrong there!
