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.

Of course they don't. Our country was founded by religious extremists. Puritans, Quakers, Calvinists, Mormons. One of the quotes of Jesus is "For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away."
It also says in the OT that God appoints our leaders, and rebellion against our leaders is rebellion against God.
The vast majority of Christians in the USA are fundamentally opposed to anything that would financially better the lower and middle class. That's socialism, and it's evil. But the rich becoming this rich? That's holy. If they become even more rich, that just means they are even more holy.
