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.

A bunch of Americans with a fresh chip on their shoulder for the US government storming a Chinese social media site and airing out their grievances doesn't exactly paint the US in a positive light, I would bet that whoever is responsible for coordinating Chinese propaganda sees this as a free win.
It's not like the Chinese people don't have any grievances, particularly around mental health stigmas and treatment for ADHD/autism. But a lot of americans are finding out things aren't so bad everywhere else for the first time.
