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.

It's not the laopards. Its they themselves who cut off their noses to spite their own faces. Bcos Gaza. Lofl.
“If you were able to overlook a genocide and cast a vote for Harris, you already know how a conservative was able to overlook Trump’s extremism and vote for him.” – Historian Robin D.G. Kelley
Just curious, what does this mean to you?
Well, according to the other guy, he's responsible for the ceasefire now.
Yup, the cease fire that biden started, and finished in before trump was elected. Don't get me wrong I'm beyond disappointed in biden for enabling the genocide, but "let's ban muslims" trump isn't going to be better.
You mean 'lets ban muslims, deport immigrants, kill the EPA, withdraw from NATO, anti vax, cut taxes for the rich, remove affordable care, ban trans rights, criminalize marijuana, no peaceful transfer of power, kill Gaza so Jared can make a killing, putins puppet, Ukraine who?, ...' trump? That guy who in one way or another seems to do the opposite of everything on that list trump (except for helping Jared out)?
But let's put Biden to blame for the military industrial complex that America is anyway.
Oh, sorry. I forgot to add 'i read it on the internets'.
Another liberal reminding us that he doesn’t see Palestinians as people.
Thankfully not all are too far gone like you. Chris Hayes: Biden is leaving a ‘disgraceful legacy’ on Gaza
Guess you’re fine with genocide so long as your team gets to win the capitalist Olympics
I guess you're fine with genocide as long as it's the goal of the side you support. I call that hypocrisy.
Uh what? No, I’m not ok with genocide which is why I refused to vote for the democrats who are fully responsible for it.
Right. And I'm sure you're happy with the results. You let this one issue keep you from preventing an insurrectionist rapist convicted felon in to the highest office in the land. The fact that you're American and allowed this to happen is exactly what I meant in my original comment.
An insurrectionist and rapist is still better than a genocider.
Are you intentionally this stupid, or are you trying very hard to be this way? You won the election, now bask in the rewards.
And which party was in power for the last four years that could of easily jailed trump for j6 but was too spineless to do so?
For the record, it is biden and Harris arming Israel who are responsible for a genocide, not trump!
Fuck off blue MAGA. Another blocked liberal. Shocking, from the liberal la la land of world.
At least I get to drink liberal tears for the next four years. Bunch of fucking crybabies. You had four years to hold biden accountable but were out to brunch and you wonder why you fucking lost?!
The only campaign promise biden held was that “nothing will fundamentally change”. He furthered trumps immigration and environmental policies, he fucked over labor, he fucked over women, he fucked over queers, he fucked over the working class, his admin lied through their teeth about inflation (strongest economy ever! For whom?!), his foreign policy is horrendous, he refused to the a one term president as promised and instead insisted on running despite having dementia, and then dropped out at the last moment when it was obvious he was going to lose (his own internal polling from the get go showed that but he’s too narcissistic to let others lead), and the DNC refused to hold a primary which they haven’t run a fair competitive primary that didn’t involve back room deals and putting their weight on the scale since at least 2008 if not earlier.
Oh and then there’s the genocide, that trump is getting a ceasefire for under the same conditions biden failed at.
Trump is not even in office yet. Wdym he 'got a ceasefire'?
Israeli and Arab news outlets reported that according to the negotiators.
Oh right. 'I read it on the internets.'
Right. And people are wondering what has been happening to critical thinking skills over the past few decades.
This is from the very liberal New Yorker magazine.
Edit: LOL about the downvotes. Stay mad libs.
So.. 'i read it on the internet'. 'trust me bro'
Wow, what a goddamn crybaby because facts hurt your poor whittle fee fees. I came with receipts you whiny butthurt lib. If you click through the Haaretz link that’s quoted in the above you’ll see the reporting is from a bunch of mainstream journalists + Reuters + AP. I quoted NYer because it has the quote from Netanyahu’s admin about trumps involvement.
But since that’s not good enough for you, here’s an Israeli analysis on the ceasefire from their liberal paper Haaretz:
https://archive.is/2025.01.16-072552/https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2025-01-16/ty-article/.premium/as-gaza-war-grinds-to-halt-trump-pivots-to-what-he-really-cares-about-israel-saudi-ties/00000194-6bcd-d876-affe-7fefc94b0000
They chose to make Gaza worse but also make the county worse because the alternative wasn't as good as they would have preferred
Gaza worse? Biden already set the bar in hell. Supposedly a cease fire is in the works, and if so and Israel abides by it (the latter unlikely) liberals can go fuck themselves for eternity for constantly refusing to listen to the left. It’s liberals fault they’d rather lose to fascists than embrace any leftist positions. I for one will never ever vote democrat again country be damned.
That ceasefire is all smoke and mirrors. If tiktok does end up getting banned, the moment they go dark is when that ceasefire will come to an end.
Tik tok is not the only media stop being ridiculous. As for the ceasefire we’ll see it’s already better than biden.
Tiktok was the only media exposing it for what it was. All other forms of media including the government is in genocide denial while supporting zionists and their slaughter of Palestinians
I’m not on tik tok and I’m fully aware. I’ve been aware for a long time even before the most recent situation. Gen z and the oldest alphas needs media literacy if they think tik tok is the only source of information out there.
Well now they'll definitely listen to you.
The democrats represent their donors, not the working class. They never listened in the first place why start now?
