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.

Yes, yes he did.
No, he did not. I've read it 5-6 times over the years, not once did he call for genocide. You can show what you think is a call for genocide, and I'll explain why that's not the case at all.
I posted a comment below. It's clear as day. Anyone arguing is delusional.
Was the French Revolution a "genocide" against the Monarchy? Further, revolution doesn't necessitate killing every member of the bourgeoisie. Further still, you are likening relations to Capital to immutable characteristics like ethnicity.
You're deeply unserious.
You're deeply delusional.
I'm not the one pretending business owners are an ethnicity, nor am I the one pretending Marx said to commit genocide on business owners. Marx calls for revolution, not genocide, it's very silly to adopt your position.
It is delusional to support genocide and find reasons why your version of genocide is not genocide.
The French Revolution was not a genocide against the Monarchy. You don't know what revolution, class, or genocide are.
