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. This includes instance shaming.

Cool. Nice list of Wall St bootlickers to primary. EVERY LAST ONE.

Of course one is fucking Marie Gluesencamp-Perez. She's basically a moderate Republican who runs as a Democrat because she lives in a purple district.

You know what, suddenly I don't feel so mad about that picture of Hakeem with the sombrero and moustache anymore. Fuck him.

Is this is the second time or is this a repost from when this happened after last mid-term elections ?

Now do one for capitalism. Might be longer due to more examples.

Jefferson's quote could be used to defend against higher taxes on the top brackets, and yet when we did have such taxes we saw high prosperity. So anything can be sold as bad, especially when you use a very broad definition and run with it.

A version of socialism is what provides common services and infrastructures that allows our society to exist. I doubt we want to denounce and get rid of basic needs of the public, paid for by taxes TAKEN from the public.
