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. This includes instance shaming.

America has tens of millions of people living off of wages/benefits far below the poverty line. Prices are skyrocketing and nothing else is except for profits. Homelessness is now a crime, to be a slave in a for-profit prison where you'll labour day and night and be fed rotting bread and sleeping on a paper thin cot. Welcome to the new world order.
In the future, when AI and automation has created a permanent 50%+ unemployment rate, any government assistance will be transactional. If you need food assistance, housing assistance, etc., you will be expected to work for it.
Other personal financial issues like homelessness, unemployment, and even high debt, will be criminalized, and those people will be sent to the work camps, where they will be leased out as Federal Work Slaves under the 13th Amendment, which will be known as "13s." It will be illegal to be poor.
The cheap slave labor will replace even more paying jobs, and unemployment will increase, creating more inmates for the camps. Eventually there will be far more workers than available slave labor jobs, and we will have an excess of disgusting human workers, eating, breeding, getting sick, spreading rumors, encouraging rebellion, sabotaging, etc.,
Many can be sent to die in The Excursion®, but many more won't be useful for that, and they'll just have to be eliminated.
Freedom isn't free, and this is the cost. Many people are going to have to surrender their freedom and their lives, so that better quality (wealthy) Americans can have satisfying lives. Preserving Freedom requires a lot of effort, and the work camps will provide that effort.
As someone once said "Arbeit Macht Frei" - Work Will Make You Free. So inspirational, it should be above the front gates.
