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.

Song discovered during my student years. I hadn't heard it in a decade and somehow I think it belongs here.

Lyrics[Verse 1]
There are people going hungry far away
They've got nothing on their plates
And you're filling your fat face with every different kind of cake
If you ever go lardy or go lame
I will drop you straight away
That's the chance you're gonna take
For every stupid thing you say

[Verse 2]
There are people going lonely and they'll stay
Lonely far into the year
Cause you're making blinkers fashionable
And fashionably you'll say
All is equal in love and war
And I'm sorry but I've got some things to do
And you pretend to read a book
You'll never finish till the day

[Verse 3]
That the author dedicates it
To a century of fakers
They took your mould
And they burned it on the fire in history today
Yeah, the author dedicates it
To a century of fakers
He was an anarchist, he tried his best
But it wasn't good enough

[Verse 4]
Did I say I would see you soon
Well I'm sorry, but I just came off my bike
And my face is scarred
And chance has barred me seeing you tonight
I was over the other side of the city
And if the truth be known I'd say
That you looked great from there before you shaved
Your golden hair today

[Chorus]
Everybody's trying to make us
Another century of fakers
They took your mould
And burned it on the fire of history today
Everybody's trying to make us
Another cool decade of fakers
