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.

I am really sick of the US. It’s never been great, but I really hate this overtly celebrating evil regime today.

The US is a shithole country.

Also the only country where children don't have rights.

Well at least we know who the bad guys are.

Of course they did. You know what else should be a human right ?

Internet (We are not talking about social media)

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago

Internet should be treated as a utility some 15 years ago.

Job searches, paying bills, medical portals and more. It's a requirement today even more so.

[–] iglou@programming.dev 6 points 6 days ago

And it's even easier to implement than food. Many countries already have free access to computers with internet in public libraries.

You'd think Americans would be on board considering how much they eat

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Americans who have any political voice (right wingers these days) have plenty to eat and hate the poor. They prefer them hungry as some sort of punishment for ending up needing the help. We have Ayn Rand capitalism in our blood.

Ayn Rand, who died impoverished eating through public assistance hated the poor and made it morally acceptable for Americans to hate their poor. She thought altruism was evil. She was also a zionist who thought Arabs were "primatives" https://mondoweiss.net/2012/08/ryan-said-to-be-meeting-with-adelson/

Yes but they only want themselves to eat, not others.

[–] Makhno@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

They'd love to starve a bunch of their fellow americans, too

If Life is an inalienable right, and food is an undeniable necessity for human life, then it should be self-evident that food is a human right.

[–] MrTolkinghoen@lemmy.zip 7 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

We're dealing with a society that doesn't understand what inalienable means, and especially the leaders.

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 5 days ago

Capitalism is massively dependent on coercing labor through the deprivation of basic human needs.

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 15 points 6 days ago (2 children)

The UN declaration of Human Rights already declared "freedom from want" a human right, which includes food, shelter, and clothing.

Food is already a human right, according to the UN.

[–] leftzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

freedom from want

That goes against the very foundations of capitalism!

The UN is lucky no one in the USA government can read, or they'd've already been liberated with extreme prejudice!

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 5 points 6 days ago

Didn't you read? Trump just signed an executive order that claims anticapitalist actions are terrorism.

I wish I was being sarcastic..

Good knowing we're the Axis this time around.

Shithole.

[–] Infinite@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago

Makes sense. Being an ally is woke.

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 13 points 6 days ago

The US vote counts as a veto right? That sucks ass.

Big news everybody! The country that does nothing right, did the same thing again!
Like we did expect something different.

[–] spinda@leminal.space 6 points 6 days ago

The depravity is beyond parody.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 9 points 6 days ago

I was thinking if they voted again about the same thing with the same results but yeah this was about the 2021 vote.

[–] boaratio@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago
[–] wowwoweowza@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

How did I miss hearing f about this in 2021??

[–] Arancello@aussie.zone 7 points 6 days ago (7 children)

Algunos americanos dont want to have to help others unless there is a profit in it.
