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.

Let the people vote instead of the fascists.

The Soviet solution to this was to send all the fascists to Siberia and I’m starting to think they had the right idea.

Algunos americanos dont want to have to help others unless there is a profit in it.

It’s just capitalists that think that way. Your country has them too, I promise. They are a scourge that must either be washed away, or they will tighten their grip on the world and turn us all into monsters in their own image.

Your country has them too

Sure, but the USA is the only country where capitalism is the official state religion, and where reasonable regulations are seen as an attack on personal liberties (since it's also the only country that considers companies people... and real people a resource to be owned and consumed).

It's the state religion in every way but official

Didn't Trump just declare being against capitalism (as well as being against fascism) heresy, I mean, terrorism?

Sounds pretty official to me...

It's the ones in power. Always been, will continue being for the foreseeable future.

They're also after the air and water.

It would be weird if they did vote "yes", considering what they are doing right now.

I guess you can count on them for being consistently shitty.

We know why Israel voted "no". As to America, we are still, ATM, the most powerful military and economic force on Earth. Think logically; Why we ever agree to anything any other country wants unless it's a clear benefit to us? The schoolyard bully doesn't give quarter until he's punched in the fucking face, and no one can really break our nose, at the moment.

Give it time. We've alienated all our friends, and they're desperately looking and working towards a future without American influence. It'll take a long time to see our empire die down. SOURCE: 20th century British history.

the sun finally set on the british empire for the first time in many, many years this year (2025 - it lost the chagis islands ~march). it takes a very, very long time 👍

...Wait, I thought food was already a human right? Article 25.

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

It is. This was a vote to reaffirm it (I guess in the context of the current genocide where its been shown that Israel is using food as a weapon).

But this vote doesn't overturn the fact that food is recognized as a human right by the UN.

The US once helped create the UN as a means of unifying the world against fascism. Now it has made itself and Kahanist Israel the enemies of the UN.

There were nazi rallies in the US in the 1920s. What are you talking about?

The US has been fucking with other countries for the last 150+ years. Manipulating their elections, deposing their governments, and installing dictatorships.

We now say Russia does this but the reality is that the US are masters at it and have never stopped.
