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.

You don’t need to loan money to get a credit rating, that is a total myth.

You're right in that you actually need to be loaned money to get a credit rating, but you're just entirely wrong overall.

The credit rating is based on assets and income, debt actually has very little effect on it, only if you declare bankruptcy does it usually change the rating.

You're objectively incorrect. Please look into what the credit agencies say they use before you provide your opinion.

How much you owe and your payment history is 65% of your credit score alone. You literally have to be loaned money to have a credit score.
