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, 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.

Clearly the thread was lost on you. You contested the commenter’s point about not trusting anybody by saying not to trust capitalists. I was contesting your comments by pointing out that Russian socialism is no better. I’m sorry if that was confusing for you.

Russia is not socialist

But Russia isn't socialist, it's capitalist.

It’s state capitalism or crony capitalism. The state controls far more of the wealth, growth, and private sector than in capitalism. They do that with under the guise of public welfare. Look at how well it’s going.

So no, it’s not socialist, but it’s not really capitalist either.

Dude, learn to walk away from a conversation when you're wrong.
