Late Stage Capitalism

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.

If history is any guide they'll enthusiastically fund his every whim.

With Gruesome Newsom being the possible front leader of the Democrats for presidential candidates they're utterly not hiding they don't care about human rights. They'd happily walk back LGBT+ rights to stay in office at this point.

He still does. Progressives are winning more and more seats, eventually the DNC will be replaced and be useful brick by brick.

Progressives are winning more and more seats

Can't undersell the amount of progress DSA and its allies have made in the last six years.

But we're talking about half a dozen Congressional seats. A smattering of state and local races. Lots of people who are totally untested and unproven. Lots of people - like El Sayud and Mamdani - who seem more than happy to meet Zionists and bigot reactionaries halfway.

And they're squaring off against legions of ICE goons, corporate drones, and fascist billionaires fully on board with mass extermination of their opponents.

Look at Bo French down in Texas. This is a guy who is advocating a Holocaust of 100M people across the US. He's polling even with Jon Rosenthal, a Democrat who wants to maybe raise taxes on energy companies a little bit.

the DNC will be replaced

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for it to happen.

Posts like this only help the fascists. They have no other purpose.

Democrats are the fascists that help enable fascism to flourish

So you support Republicans then?

The accountability Democrats created after a literal attempted coup, and having the power to do something about it for four years:

We're here because of the repeated and reliable failure of Democrats. And that failure is possible because of commentors like you.

Best case scenario we get a dozen DSA's elected and their presence numerically forces a small measure of change. The centrists are probably insider trading off their security briefings and aren't going to do anything to stop the golden goose.

The fascists already won. Your only power now is local, as we saw in LA, Portland, Chicago, and Minneapolis earlier this year.

Interesting crap. The only truth here is if you don’t vote, you have voted for the winner. All this business about not liking a party or candidate and not voting is essentially just voting for the winner. Not very smart and just planning to roll over and take it.
