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. 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.

Accept less than perfect

That sounds a lot like liberal 'shut up and do as you are told' People have done that for decades and the only people things get better for are the rich.

We don't want perfection, we want equality and equity

And then you'll continue to get nothing while your opposites succeed at the game. You think evangelicals don't want perfect authoritarianism? Of course they do. But they're smart enough to know that they can only get there inch by inch by working with the middle over time, and not seeming extreme.

You can either get over yourself and work strategically, or you can continue to fail against those that do.

And as your pride prevents the former, we slide farther right. But go on, stomp your feet about it. Maybe this time it'll help.

Your comment still screams of BlueMAGA bullshit. Liberals are the biggest obstacles to progress and are enablers of fascism. They are toxic to movements

shrug I can't make you successful

Even your reply is condescending and is minimizing the struggle of other people. You're implying that the only way to achieve success is to do it the liberal way. And despite liberals doing it the same way for decades, your material conditions are identical to my material conditions. States like California with a bulletproof Democrat super majority do not have any better material living conditions than someone in a red State like Alabama

The only way to achieve success is together. You can either meet them in the middle, or change their minds.

Unless you know another way?
