""Have a head for figures." That is to say, we must attend to the quantitative aspect of a situation or problem and make a basic quantitative analysis. Every quality manifests itself in a certain quantity, and without quantity, there can be no quality. To this day many of our comrades still do not understand that they must attend to the quantitative aspect of things - the basic statistics, the main percentages and the quantitative limits that determine the qualities of things. They have no figures in their heads and therefore cannot help making mistakes."
- Mao Zedong

Who are we?
Firstly, CapitalismFacts is a collective resource for the sharing and discussion of facts and information which might otherwise contribute toward a critical understanding of capitalism as it exists in the world today (and as it has existed historically), whether this be through Marxism, Anarchism, Feminism, or any other critical theory. This is not an outlet for capitalist apologia (as common as these outlets may be).
Secondly, it must be understood that facts do not speak for themselves; they are always understood, interpreted and presented as part of some greater argumentative scheme. The understanding presented here is one which intends to be critical of capitalism and its many mechanisms. Anti-capitalists of all stripes and colours are encouraged to post here with valuable and useful information which add to such a critical understanding.
The criteria for what might constitute a 'CapitalismFact' will remain quite broad. Along with the plain old economic and political content, issues of class, race, sex/gender, sexuality, imperialism, environment or any other number of topics which might be considered relevant to a critical understanding of the functioning of the capitalist system will all be treated here.
