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.

I don't have an issue with the police.
Most crime is committed by poor people on poor people.
Until that changes, we need cops.
I hate gangbangers 1000x more than any cop.
Most crime is white collar against the working class. By far the largest form of crime is wage theft.
I agree, but poor people keep targeting each other instead of their rulers.
If cops were more like the Pinkertons, then I would share your hatred of them.
Cops function exactly like Pinkertons every time a company calls them on strikers, so...
All you have to do is watch what's happening right now in Los Angeles, they're acting like Pinkertons
I'm not sure what's happening, but if I take your word at face value then fuck those cops in particular.
