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.

They can, but no. Lots of single family homes burn to the ground with very minor damage to their neighbours (unless attached. Even then its smoke damage)
So if you need me to qualify my wishful thinking that a shit bag landlord would lose their rental home to a fire, thus fulfilling the karma due to them for overcharging after a terrible fire:
"I hope their house burns down in a safe and contained manner, not during any other heavy wind or nearby fires, while noone is home, and the fire fighters have had time off and are happy to be back on the job, but sadly didn't get there before everything was completely ruined."
"Also their insurance doesn't cover fire."
Hope that helps.
