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.

Already, as working class women in the U.S., we bear the heaviest burden of the lack of access to universal healthcare, universal daycare and living wages. But it’s not too late to reverse the tide.

Change is absolutely possible — but what we need most is political organization that can build a fighting movement for the future that we need.

This International Working Women’s Day, honor the struggle of the women who have come and fought before us — join the fight for a socialist future where all women can thrive!

A (long and) interesting video suggesting we are moving from late stage capitalism to something worse (www.youtube.com)

I found this quite interesting and informative. Although the videos explicit thesis is that we are leaving / have left the late stage capitalism stage and moved on to something worse I still think it fits this community quite well. It does critique what most people would identify as late stage capitalism: rent seeking, venture capitalism and shifting division of power between the classes.

I also think it fits here as I feel like the Fediverse in general is a sort of counter-movement to the mentioned abuse of personalized feeds to gain power. The fediverse is democratized by design, it is somewhat immune to monopolization and thereby the structures described in that video.

If you 'liked' the part about personalized feeds I can also recommend Technology Connections 'rant' about that topic: Algorithms are breaking how we think.
