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.

Please quote that part.
You can read the full manifesto here https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/download/pdf/Manifesto.pdf But let's go through it step by step.
The second part establishes that there are even better representatives of "good people" called "Communists". This whole section is dedicated to dehumanising everyone else and showing that Communists are the superior people to everyone else.
He then openly calls for violence multiple times finishing with:
You can replace "Communists" with "Arians" and "Bourgeoisie" with "Jews" and you'll get Hitler's manifest. Same shit.
Even if this is true (it is not, 1 and 2 are just wrong), it does not show him calling for a genocide.
And your last line is incredibly stupid, "but what if he had written jews", see just like Hitler. "But what if water was fire", "but what if up was down".
He didn't. Bourgeoisie != Jew. If you replaced all instances of "Bourgeoisie" with "Jew" it would not make sense, as Marx is talking about classes, and their relation to the MOP not jews and arians or whatever.
Wow, the delusion...
Are you American? You're the third person that has had a very hard time reading, I have heard the american education system is really subpar.
No. As I stated before, I'm from the USSR and I know first hand what communism really is. So stop spreading this delusional bull shit, please.
I'm not spreading any delusional bullshit. Please re-read the Communist Manifesto, you have completely misunderstood it.
I haven't, you did.
Even on the slim chance you're telling the truth about being from the USSR, the fact that you have a comically poor understanding of Marxism, and the insistance that fascism can be meaningfully separated from Capitalism without any backing, ultimately undermines everything you have to say. Regardless of your personal anecdotes, your understanding of political theory is comically horrible, and you have never for one second made an argument beyond "because I said so."
You're ignorant and delusional.
When you don't have any facts or data, you jump to insults.
