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. This includes instance shaming.

Time for a rebranding
Nah time for people to think for themselves.. But who am I kidding?
Communitism? Societism? Civilizatism? Social securitism? Social safetism?
Communitism is probably too close to communism, auditorially.
well ... i've heard a lot of people saying "communication is key to a healthy relationship"
and i would say "communication" is auditorially close to "communism" too.
Sure, but you're trying to convince rabid anti-communist/anti-socialist people to accept the ideals under a new name. Don't give them anything that might preload their expectations.
Social democracy?
Edit: on a second thought that might also not work, we might need marketing department consultation

I think its hard to argue against cooperatives. They have a good track record, are member owned, and democratically controlled. Its a form of stateless socialism and a great place to start handing the means of production over to the proletariat.
I like that, sounds neutral enough. It's interesting to imagine the decision making processes - democratically controlled, stateless society sounds a bit contradictory on the first thought.
