Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

We're not living in capitalism, we're living in the mutant child version of it, corpo-kleptocracy.
thats just capitalism. weve seen it take this form over and over again now.
What is needed is a President who will bust up the companies, someone like Teddy Roosevelt, except without the racism.
no president will ever do that. in capitalism, the companies and elites are the ones who truly control the government and they won't let it happen this time.
the last time it did was because there was a true risk of revolution in the US, because of the 1929 crash. (the new deal)
hell, they didnt even let obama give you actual healthcare, when he had everything cleared for it to happen, and conditions are worse for the us at this time.
probably wont help that their current president is seizing dictatorial power atm.
