NEW POSTING GUIDELINES! Help us by reporting bad posts

Help us keep this subreddit alive and improve its content by reporting posts that violate our rules and guidelines.


Subscribe to our partner subreddits!

Check out r/WhereAreTheChildren


This sub is for:

News, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge the narratives which act as legitimations for the status quo of modern class society. Posts need not be about capitalism specifically, whether late-stage or otherwise; we simply aim to cater to a socialist audience.

We do allow links to threads and comments on Reddit, as long as they are relevant to the content guidelines and follow the rules. Use NP links, or your post will be deleted.


Philosophy:

This subreddit has its roots in broad-based anti-capitalist thought, with an emphasis on Marxist concepts and analysis and a commitment to antiracism and inclusive feminism.

When it comes to proposed alternatives to Capitalism, it is the general consensus of this subreddit that class-divisions and alienated labour must be abolished; production must be collectively organized by the laborers themselves for the direct benefit of all. We call this socialism.

Find out more here: The Principles of Communism


Rules:

1. Reddit-wide rules apply. Behavior such as brigading and harassment won't be permitted. Neither will posts that can be interpreted as explicit threats of/calls for violence.

2. Any post that makes a claim must have a RELIABLE source or explanation in the comments by OP: All claims, news articles, tweets and so forth that are an example of LSC MUST be substantiated with a reliable, factual and verifiable source. Any posts that break this rule will have their poster temporarily banned. See here for more information: https://www.reddit.com/r/LateStageCapitalism/comments/tqc5ws/low_effort_content_all_posts_claims_news_articles/

3. Do not post "positive" content from Dan Price, other CEOs/business owners or ANY liberal politician or official in any country, past or present: This means don't make posts in support of the person in question.

4. No trolling. "I was just trolling" won't be accepted as a defense for breaking rules, and we will ban for intentionally disruptive behavior or attacks on our sub, users, or philosophy.

5. No capitalist apologia or anti-socialism. This subreddit is intended for a socialist audience, and while questions are allowed, pushing your own counter-narrative here is not. We do not allow support here for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it. We are not a liberal or (U.S.-/Social-) Democrat subreddit; we are a socialist subreddit.

"Lesser evil" rhetoric is specifically forbidden. If you've come here to tell us we need to shut up and vote for the Democrats because the Republicans are worse, you will be banned. Find a better argument.

6. No imperialism or reactionism. This includes not just ideologies to the right of liberalism but also right-wing fixations such as national/ethnic/cultural chauvinism and military/police worship regardless of the underlying ideology.

7. No bigotry. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or classism. The respect for readers who are subject to these forms of bigotry takes priority in this subreddit over your right to speak freely.

8. Be nice to each other. Be respectful towards other socialists you disagree with, but also non-socialists who follow the rules and participate in good faith. Feel free to dunk on trolls, bigots and bootlickers to your heart’s content.

9. Bans are at moderator discretion. We reserve the right to eject users (as well as remove, lock, or otherwise moderate any content on the subreddit) for reasons not listed if we consider it necessary to do so.

10. Don’t bother sending us personal promotion requests. We are not an advertising platform for your blog or Youtube channel.

11. Do not post NSFL Content; it will be removed.

12. This is not a debate subreddit. Constructive questions and discussion are welcome, but our basic philosophy is non-negotiable and we aren’t interested in repeatedly having to explain or justify it. We also won’t debate about so-called “socialist” countries. There are plenty of political debate subreddits, so take your gotchas there. If you actually want to learn more about the basics of socialism, you can check out the links in the sidebar or the material in our wiki.

13. Make an effort. Please refer to our posting guidelines for our standards of content-quality and which kinds of posts are unsuitable for this subreddit.

Reminder to please flair NSFW posts accordingly

Hey everyone. Ever since the war in Gaza started last year, we’ve (obviously) had an increase in posts about the Israel/Palestine conflict, which of course isn’t bad, but also an increase in posts with graphic images of the situation. We just ask that you flair your post with the appropriate NSFW flair because there are people who are sensitive to this kind of content and don’t want to see death/injury without a warning first, otherwise we’ll have to take action. Of course, everyone is still encouraged and more than welcome to post about the situation as it is still a tragedy created by imperialism that needs to be discussed and shown to the world.

Thanks for your comprehension!

It would be a shame if he got fake leads…

This man has made it his mission to remove squatters from empty mansions in California. California literally has a huge homeless crisis and he protects the bourgeoisie’s empty mansions.

The Whitewashing Of Martin Luther King - SOME MORE NEWS

This video goes into how MLKs legacy is being whitewashed by Conservatives who demonize disruptive protests.

Cold take: Politicians don't like disruptive protests because it actually works better than non-disruptive protests when it comes to changing the system.
