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.

It seems to have worked for Hungary?

It absolutely did. We sent fascist Orban packing after his 16 yrs long rule in Hungary. 79.5% voter turnout. I bet if the US had similar levels of participation, the orange clown would not be the current president.

And in his place we would just have another imperialist capitalist warmonger instead. Maybe not as bad, but frankly there has literally never been a single good US president, and it's asinine to think that Trump is an anomaly and not just a symptom of the larger problem.

You can't vote out fascism.

Swapping out Hitler for Goebbels is what they did. They changed the face, but not the politics
