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.

We really need to redefine "economy" to actually include ALL the parts, not just the stock market and investment portfolios.

sorry, best we can do is remove "volatile" consumables noone needs...like the price of gas/food/housing, silly stuff like that.

The American economy is booming the same way you feel hot when you have a raging fever.

NVIDIA -> Companies using NVIDIA -> NVIDIA

And tech infrastructure for AI, which feeds the above loop.

It's becoming more and more evident that the higher classes can and will be the only ones able to spend. If a wealth tax (and other measures to redistribute wealth) aren't introduced, there will only be a two class society.
