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.

(Im also going to learn this on the bass, and play it to my friends and theyll have no idea what it is, and I'll never tell them either)
Edit: it sound even more ridiculous on bass than it does when Ron Livingstons cat plays it.
No need for the words "late stage". This is just how capitalism inevitably ends up.
Your statements defeat their own purpose by acknowledging that it is a transformative process, which implies the use in describing phases of the process.
Many people call it "late stage capitalism" to make it seem like it's a unique problem that can be fixed by reverting to an older way of capitalism. Anecdotal, but I've personally heard it from several people at this point.

Does one beget the other?
But late stage capitalism isn't collapsing; the country is. LSC is fucking thriving.
