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. 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,' etc.

MODERATORS
Here in California, they have decided that the best strategy is to tear down their camps and throw them in jail. Cuz that'll solve everything.
That way the state can make money off of them via slave labor.
Nah the state doesnt make money. The state pays the prison with taxes and then the privately owned prison loans out its slaves for to get even more profit
California actually has no private prisons, for what that's worth. But that doesn't mean state and federal prisons can't be for-profit.
State and federal prisons contract their inmates out to businesses through "work reform" programs to make things like cheap dorm furniture or food products. The business pays the prison for a contract, and the prisoners work for free or for a small credit they can spend at the prison comissary. Or sometimes it reduces the debt they get stuck with when they leave prison, because the government bills people for the cost of their own incarceration.
