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.

Women earned the right in the 60s, but it wasn't until the Equal Credit Opportunity Act passed in '74 until banks were forbidden from requiring a husband's signature.

The Equal Credit Opportunity Act prohibits financial institutions from discriminating against applicants based on their sex, age, marital status, religion, race or national origin.

I worked for a Credit Union as a developer. I can attest that at least where I worked, there was a host of yearly modules you had to complete to ensure you were up to speed on how to not be an asshole and they took it quite seriously.
