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.

Yeah.
Imagine making $1,000,000 PER DAY.
To get to musk's net worth you would have to work for about 1,300 YEARS, while not having any expenses or worry about inflation.
I like the analogy of 1 million being a glass of water and saying you have to drink 1 glass of water in a day to make a million. You have to have a room full of people to finish 1000 glasses of water in a day to make a billion.
I love these comparisons.
Imagine making $1 billion per year.
You still need to work for 280 years.
