Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Hace we considered that perhaps certain socially normative messages such as these also reinforce a Capitalist agenda: eg. Keeping leftists from becoming interesting in, and owning/running their own businesses?
I feel plenty of leftists have probably stayed out of business in order to avoid being exploiters... But I'm not entirely sure that's how things work, or the best outcome possible.
What I'm saying is; culture under Capitalism gets us to recreate messages that reinforce the status quo of base superstructure relations... We do so without knowing, and often without questioning it.
So not to be that guy (but in this case I'm totally being that guy); I'm just asking questions bro!
It's harder to advocate for destroying things one possesses.
If we want to end Capitalism, not being invested in it is probably more helpful than not.
That said, I have met a fair few people that would fall under the label of "Leftist" that have had small businesses. Although not the hyper-radical left.
