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.

Capitalism has always existed in fascist regimes, fascism is Capitalism in decay. Communism is an entirely different structure. Read Blackshirts and Reds.

Capitalism has never existed in fascist regimes.

Capitalism has always existed in fascist regimes. Nazi Germany, Mussolini's Italy, all places where the interests of Private Capital controlled the state and formed the basis of the economy. The purpose of fascism, after all, is to brutally protect Capitalism's existing property relations from the decay Capitalism brings.

I've provided ample sources and rationale, and you've provided "nuh-uh." I think we know who actually knows what they're talking about between the two of us, indicated by not a single person agreeing with you.

Yep! Maybe now you'll stop this nonsense idea of Marx being genocidal for wanting a revolution.

Maybe you should stop white washing a genocide.

Maybe you should stop doing Holocaust trivialization and comparing a revolution against Capital owners to a genocide against an ethnic group.
