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.
See this GitHub page for a collection of sources about socialism, imperialism, and other relevant topics.
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:

I think we are in an era of imperialist decline, but look, the Soviet Union said the same thing 40 years or so ago and everyone thought the defeat of the United States was inevitable. Seriously, people thought that back then; I read about it and it's astonishing. They were making a few similar arguments to today's arguments too.
We must NOT let our guard down for one second and press the attack forward while also not expecting China to swoop in and save us.
We should not let our guard down, no, but we do need to maintain revolutionary optimism.
Yes, that's true indeed.
To add to this, decline isn't something that is guaranteed to happen swiftly. The decline and subsequent fall of Rome took centuries. I know that's a cliche example, but it's still useful to think of imperialist decline in this way. Considering the scale of its hegemony, the US nation-state is likely to follow a similar path of withering over time.
Furthermore I'd like to add that an Empire built upon, formed by, beneficial of and propagated on Violence, will most definitely express violence on the development of its decline, as we can see it currently and historically
Mhm
Yeah
Have faith that that's the case but also tie down your camel 🐪 - Hakim, probably
