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, 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’d guess… textbooks. like actually though. some are really well written, nicely ordered and prioritize stuff which is actually useful.

also you get a distraction free environment as a plus which, i think, is more helpful than one might think.

Unironically love this answer

How do I get this distraction free environment with the textbooks? I got a bunch for college and everywhere was still stuffed to the gills with distractions!

I think maybe my own brain is made of distractions...

When's the last time you went to your local library?

Like a week ago! But it's usually busy.

At least for me it feels like that when I sit down to read a book I somehow trick my brain to go into "learn" mode like it actually tries then to remember stuff and to be attentive. Its harder to do that being on the phone i think. Maybe environment wasn't the right word.
