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.

Fucking labels. I have done the research on communism, socialism, capitalism, authoritarianism, Buddhism, taoism, etc.

Not a single real life person I've ever interacted with matches up with these labels. My personal experience with tankies (another label I don't get besides being in specific dumb instances) almost messes with that but nah.

I decided that I'm a member of one place.

Humanity.

Capitalism is definitely garbage.

Most Marxists follow certain tendencies, ie Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, Trotskyism, etc. These tendencies arise from believing certain aspects to be relative to local conditions, or universal, such as the concept of Protracted People's War. Communists in general will agree within tendencies because if you agree with certain foundations, then there are "correct" and "incorrect" conclusions.

Labels are a real tool used to control and manipulate people
