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.
Rules:
- No bigotry, anti-communism, pro-imperialism or ultra-leftism (anti-AES)
- We support indigenous liberation as the primary contradiction in settler colonies like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel
- If you post an archived link (excluding archive.org), include the URL of the original article as well
- Unless it's an obvious shitpost, include relevant sources
- For articles behind paywalls, try to include the text in the post
- Mark all posts containing NSFW images as NSFW (including things like Nazi imagery)

This is what happens when you declare game, set, match when the clock is still running.
To be somewhat fair, nobody in the early 2000s other than certain circles would've thought China was staging the biggest fake-out in history
Except they weren't. What makes this all really funny is that China literally publishes 5 year plans, and the west keeps acting like China is inscrutable.
I mean true but also I thought they literally said that's what they were going to do. Like I swear we are constantly caught off guard by them going to do exactly what they say they're going to do
Look the PRC has been nothing but honest and opens with its plans and dealings, the west just cannot fathom a government not lieing
Okay, but have you considered that this time is the time they were actually lying and they are now neolibs dressed up in a red banner. Insert some racist stereotypes to call them untrustworthy and remember that neoliberalism is the greatest form of governance ever (quote Churchill, QUOTE CHURCHILL) and obviously they recognized their ~~sins~~ that capitalism and liberal democracy are the best thing since sliced bread!
I've been spending too much time on reddit lately
Whew, I was almost worried I'd look bad by comparing my personal strain of idealistic socialism (it's basically the Nordic model but better) to China. But thankfully they fail my purity test, which means I don't have to actually learn about any of their accomplishments or achievements and can just call them bad guys. I hate the US too though, but I'm glad they tell me the truth when it comes to China, very nice of them.
