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.

We know why Israel voted "no". As to America, we are still, ATM, the most powerful military and economic force on Earth. Think logically; Why we ever agree to anything any other country wants unless it's a clear benefit to us? The schoolyard bully doesn't give quarter until he's punched in the fucking face, and no one can really break our nose, at the moment.

Give it time. We've alienated all our friends, and they're desperately looking and working towards a future without American influence. It'll take a long time to see our empire die down. SOURCE: 20th century British history.

the sun finally set on the british empire for the first time in many, many years this year (2025 - it lost the chagis islands ~march). it takes a very, very long time ๐Ÿ‘
