Late Stage Capitalism

3856 readers
308 users here now

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.

HARDCORE! INCREMENTAL CHANGE!!!

[–] Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 2 days ago (8 children)

What is stopping you from both asking the one who is willing to help AND trying to find a second solution on your own?

You don't lose anything by voting.

[–] LocalAreaMan@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

You're really bad with metaphors. The second person is holding your head down.

How about I draw you a picture.

You do if you vote for Republicans who pretend to be Democrats.

Do you not understand the “incremental help" is going to lead to your death?

[–] K1nsey6@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

No one has said anything about voting. We just don't support the oligarchy, which consists of right-wing Democrats and right-wing Republicans.

Nothing disgusts me more than billionare "philanthropists" who pledge to give away 70%-90% of their wealth to charities AFTER THEY DIE... While these MFs REFUSE TO EVEN PAY 5% TAX NOW and keep hiding their wealth and fucking kids offshores!

AND guess what charity they choose to donate it to after they fucking rot 6-ft underground? IT'S THEIR FAMILY-OWNED FOUNDATION CHARITY!

Every fucking billionare does this same trick to horde untaxed wealth for generation after the other. Or Elon who wants to go to Mars to "save humanity" , while doing jack shit to save humanity now and paying billions to support and keep Nazis in powers everywhere in the world.
So Fuck you Bill Gates, Fuck you Warren Buffon, Fuck you Zuck and Besos and every billionare philathropists who claim they will donate after they fucking die

This is a pretty shitty and convoluted analogy not gonna lie.

Poster is a mod of this community and has apparently been deleting comments willy-nilly.

If that's the case, you're a shitty mod not worthy of talking about late stage capitalism and perhaps your community is shit as a result of your actions and insecurity.

If it's not true, I apologize for all that lol

Dont follow the rules, gets comments removed. OUTRAGED

[–] LocalAreaMan@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Especially when we have perfect good, simple analogies about Democrats already.

"It’s like saying to somebody, 'You have a bowl of shit in front of you, and all you've got to do is eat half of it instead of the whole thing.' It's still shit."

except the second guy tells you he will save you incrementally, but you know he’s lying and is sitting on the car as it slowly sinks in. the first guy is the reason you in this mess in the first place.

don’t go with either of them

What politicians want us to believe:

Voting: changes the system

Doing politics: it's for professionals

How it really works:

Voting: the possibility to kick bad persons out

Doing politics: changes the system

I mean, the sidebar is pretty clear on what this comm is for and what is going to get deleted. The mod isn't exactly subtle; libs just keep not getting it.
