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.

That's a somewhat misleading summary

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-walmart-heiress-nyt-protest-ad/

While Walton inherited a 1.9% stake in Walmart following her husband's 2005 death, according to Forbes, a spokesperson for Walmart told Snopes via email that Walton has no involvement in the business.

Tell that to her 20b net worth

That's irrelevant to the point that "The walton family sponsored" is misleading when it looks like it was just one person who's only a member of the family by marriage, with no current involvement in the business, and when walmart itself explicitly distanced itself from her on this topic.

I literally didn't say Walmart did I?

You said "Walton family", which is technically correct but misleading because it's only one person. The statement made by walmart is more representative of the family majority.
