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.

Yeah, or they were LGBTQ+.
Or a slightly different version of communist.
Or any other flavor of leftist.
I mean you can say that. At the same time I grew up in a communist country where your neighbours were disappeared for whatever reason that authorities saw fit. I saw the oligarchs keep their power under a different name and regular folk stay poor, and get even poorer than before. You American kids love the idea of communism but it don’t work in practice, it requires humans to be selfless, it requires leaders who will reach the top and give up power and money, and spread it to the people below. I don’t think that’s possible with humans, too selfish. Socialism under direct rules and regulations, great. But strong man communism isn’t different than fascism or capitalism to the people at the bottom
I can’t believe you called me American.
Too bad there's not a comm for enlightenedcentrism around here
They literally say they grew up in Canada repeatedly in earlier comments they've made , TIL Canada is AES

Enlightened centrism is when you don't want your neighbors to be disappeared.
Thats how its starts, first you tell them there are nazis and you want to liberate them from the nazis. Than you invade theyr countrie. Read about siberian gulags and how many “nazi grandperants” were sent there before boot licking these commies.
reading that article, I mostly read that's it's debated and that what the famine were weaponized. Also, commentary on communism being the cause of them is largely dependent on the critic eye
Uh... Who the hell cares about any of that? Whether the Soviets shirked their responsibility to keep their (forcibly incorporated, mind you) subjects fed due to malice or malice-fueled incompetence matters about as much as whether the IDF is mass-murdering Gazans because they want to mass murder Gazans or because they're bombing any target their shitty AI gives them.
yeah so… we're talking about weather to put all the blame on communism in general. Communism is an ideology, not a government ?
The OP says communists, not communism so I'm not sure what brought that on.
Its debated by russian historical revisionism Most communist crimed have not seen wide coverage in english. This is why it's not okay to fly swastika but cool to fly hammer and cycle.

Fuck all fascists and fuck all communists.
When your ideology justifies genocide it means your ideology is pure evil.
You advocating for Democrats makes you a supporter of that fascism. 50 years of liberal 'lesser evil' was actually incremental fascism
