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.

Of course they did. You know what else should be a human right ?

Internet (We are not talking about social media)

Internet should be treated as a utility some 15 years ago.

Job searches, paying bills, medical portals and more. It's a requirement today even more so.

And it's even easier to implement than food. Many countries already have free access to computers with internet in public libraries.

I don't know, people keep saying it's nice to disconnect from the Internet. People who've lived without it long term and have a good real life community is probably doing ok. It's not a need to thrive as a human being. Seems like a detriment in the long run.

They mean social media & it's only said by people who are narrow-minded. The kind of people that honestly Should be gatekept away from internet because they're a net negative.

Plus it's already been said by actual govts. (Look up Kerala high court)
