This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

Yes I definitely have been accused (and have seen others accused) of spreading nEgATivItY when trying to explain that we are totally out of options to fix our problems electorally. I used to kind of understand it but now idgaf about the tone policing, they need to hear that the electoral strategies that have been used in the 21st century thus far have failed to deliver the goods. It's not just gonna work this time because they want it to.

I try to link relevant literature to show them a way out, but I think it's a cowardly defense mechanism that reveals that they don't actually understand that politics is a power struggle, not some game. I just try my best to stress that capitalism can't survive long-term and that most people aren't bad at heart, they're just put in material conditions that weren't designed for them to thrive. But there's only so much sugar I can pour on the facts when we live in an evil empire :shrug:
