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. 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,' etc.

Can someone give an example? I have no idea if I’m understanding this correctly.

What's your neighbor's birthday? Could you comfortably ask them to borrow a couple eggs? What if you needed someone to help with the kids? Help building your shed? Help them when they lose their job?

We're no longer a society with community. We are a collective of unsupported individuals. And we vote as such.

Now I understand. Thank you. I’ll try and be less individualistic, I’m sure I can think of a way.
