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.

Trump is mentally ill. The United States is on a very dangerous place because of the Republican Party's spineless membership. They wanted to win and any cost and now threaten every American's health, wealth, and quite likely any moral highground that it had worldwide.

Yes, he is definitely a psychopath.

What makes it all the worse, unfortunately, is the fact that turbo-capitalism is all about these character trades: limitless greed and selfishness are the name of the game here, rather than empathy and kindness.

That's why there are so many obvious psychopaths in high positions. If it's all about profits without consideration for anything else, these people are the perfect match.
