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.

Problem is that those "non-persons" can't stay in their lane, and have to pollute and disrupt society with their predatory tactics, instead of going to some forest and "pulling themselves by their bootstraps" alone.
These are strangers asking for money. They have no objective evidence that they are a good bet. Why would the bank give them a large loan for a long time?
I wouldn't give that person money and you wouldn't either. Hell, I wouldn't give a lot of people I know that loan. Less about them and more about me.
