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.

Ostensibly, yes, but some of us are deliberately being pushed to the front and sacrificed first. And when the lucky few reach what we see as success, it only serves to turn those lucky into more oppressors.

The king is actually a grey piece that fell into a bucket of black paint and making full use of it.

Does this mean crossing the country transitions me into a queen?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

The queen is the government tho. I think, in most chess rules, the player can choose what other piece you become. Doesn't have to be a queen.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

yes but it also is impossible to do so without taking pieces

But unlike chess I'll never become a Queen.

How about a drama queen?

What you do is commit crimes that will put you in front the same judge that daddy knows
