This sub is for:

1. The horrible things that the capitalist system forces people to do in order to survive within it.

2. Zesty memes, videos and GIFs that critique the social, moral and ideological decay of western capitalist culture.

3. The larger trend of corporate immorality and the increasing commodification and marketing of things that should not be commodified or marketed (such as social justice movements like the Starbucks 'race together' or Gay Pride).

4. Mocking the general hypocrisy and irrationality of Late Capitalism as it accelerates the process of digging its own grave.

Remember:

Brigading from other subs, harassment, personal attacks on fellow users, bigotry, ableism, intolerance and hate speech are all bannable offenses.

Philosophy:

This subreddit has its roots in broad-based anti-capitalist thought, with an underlying Marxist tendency that is steeped in intersectionalist Critical Theory.

When it comes to proposed alternatives to Capitalism, it is the general consensus of this subreddit that the contradiction between Capital and Labour must be eliminated; the working class should own and control the means of production.

We have a twitter account now, it posts links to new content here: @late_capitalism
