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, anti-communism, 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. This includes instance shaming.

Hey, now. The US has underfunded schools, too!
Actually, most of our schools are very well funded, receiving more funding than schools almost anywhere else in the world.
The problem is that much of the funding is squandered on administration, athletic programs, and poorly thought out capital expenditures ... while leaving some of the most important fundamentals -- like teacher salaries and basic academic supplies -- still chronically underfunded. There are many problems with American schools, and very few of those problems could be solved by dumping more money into the schools without making any other changes.
