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.

States declaring independence is actually a good idea. They can have their own immigration and tariff policy
Do you want a Bible Belt with its own army? I don't, and I live here.
They already have that, And we're forced to fund it. The supermajority of taxes come from liberal areas
Yeah but what you dont have is a militarized border with Kentucky.
Right now, those asshats are all over the world. You want em in your backyard causing trouble? Cause again, I don't.
They already are causing trouble. KY is also dependent on blur state taxes so they'd be too busy subsistence farming to bother us
Buddy I'm just saying nobody should want war on their doorstep and that's how we'd get it.
An independent American fascist state with half of the American nuclear arsenal and an open endorsement of white supremacy and Christofascist crusade rhetoric is not a good idea.
It might end up being the best option, and that is fucking terrifying.
It would be the less productive have, they would collapse instantly without blue State money. Go and take the nukes and Institute extreme denazification
