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.

Yeah, and the Roman Empire lasted until 1453, but that doesn't mean what people think of when they say Roman Empire didn't collapse in 476 (and the Byzantine Empire in 1204).
Whatever's left of the USA in a few decades might call itself USA (well, one or two bits of it might, others most definitely won't), but it evidently won't be the USA as we understand it today, and neither would any hypothetical future union or coalition of those fragments.
I mean, both of your examples were conquered from outside. If anything the Mongol Empire or Alexander the Great's empire might be better comparisons to what you want to get across and in that case who's going to take the role of Alexander's generals? Gavin Newsom? Chuck Schumer? All the people in a position to pull something like this off are pussies who wouldn't pull the trigger in a million years. If they weren't they'd do literally anything to take power back from the fascists. It's strongly worded letters all the way to the gulag on this ship.
