Late Stage Capitalism
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.

Is "regime" really a word that triggers people's negativity?
It's funny. You google the definition and some AI summary gives me "associated with authoritarian" shit.
But, I guess I'm old. Because Webster's just has this:
It's amazing how media can shape vocabulary and how people "feel" about specific words. And now we get AI summaries that just reinforce that same narrative. Literally redefining words to be associated negatively to better serve to build media narratives.
I'd literally call any state a "regime". It literally just means "a form of government". But i guess it doesn't anymore...
There have always been different nuances that are carried by words with the same general meaning. An authoritarian government is still a government.
