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.

I like the idea that Monopoly can teach the strength of unions to kids. To beat a mighty opponent we need to pool our resources.
I't helps when the spouse cackles like a witch while holding all railroads.
That can make anyone want to unionize.
It would be interesting if someone could take the same game, with the same properties, board pieces, etc. but turn it into a "union vs. management" game. One player started as management and already owned properties and hotels, the others were in a union and pooled their resources. You could have elements like the "union goes on strike" and the "management" player couldn't build any new hotels, but it meant that when the union players passed go they couldn't collect $200. And, for extra twists, allow a player to leave the union if they think that it's holding them back, and see what that does to the rest of the union and to management.
