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, anti-communism, 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.

I don't want the oligarchs to die. Take their money, strip them of every facet of wealth and strand them as some anonymous person in middle America. Make them live the struggle they inflict on everyone else. Take away their ability to contact anyone from their old life. Make them live like we do and see how long before they end it.

Nah treat them the way Bond treated that one bad guy at the end of Quantum of Solace. Drop them off in the middle of the desert stupidly far away from society and give them a can of oil to drink.

Most of them are sociopaths, that sounds like a recipe for making serial killers to me.

What even is this fantasy revenge porn? Just kill them and be done with it. Use their extreme wealth to better the lives of everyone else.

He was already impeached twice. I say we try option 2.

She [told CBS News] (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/susan-collins-explains-her-vote-to-acquit-trump/): “The president has been impeached. That’s a pretty big lesson. I’m voting to acquit. Because I do not believe that the behaviour alleged reaches the high bar in the constitution for overturning an election, and removing a duly elected president.”

If we do that I'd want them to be cut bit by bit with razor blades until their whole body is covered in cuts. And just keep going until they die.

I'd settle for bamboo torture.

Just a box left in the sun (or cold) tends to be effective.

We all want the ruling class to be hung by their ankles but since freedom of speech is no longer a thing, we have to choose our words carefully.
