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)

I agree.
Do you see ML podcasts as a way of spreading class consciousness?
I think they're one way, but they're overused; we have so many at this point and they sometimes just repeat themselves.
I just want better quality, I guess.
I suppose it depends on who the podcast is for: if it’s to dispel western capitalist propaganda about socialist countries, (i.e, @millennialchaos’ Radio Free America; which dispels propaganda against People’s Korea) who’s target audience are liberals in the Imperial Core; repetition of certain points is helpful to bring a point across to as many people as possible. When it comes to ML podcasters, the more people influenced by them, the better.
In short; you, as an ML; probably aren’t the target audience for the podcasts you are referring to.
Even so, I don't like podcasters and other influencers generally. The drama they get into and gatekeeping is done.
I also find that they oversimplify things.
Fair enough. Still, it couldn’t hurt to have more of them; or the existing ones gaining more popularity; in my opinion. There are pros and cons to any format of agitation; podcasters and influencers are 1) more modern, and 2) More effective when it comes to radicalising the younger generation, in particular. They just aren’t for everyone, and that’s okay.
I agree, I just feel that there's a dearth of activism and organizing, that's all
