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)

It's really shameless how the US actively messes with people's food and the ability of the land to produce said food in order to benefit short term capital gains, while also pointing the finger at last-of-their-kind famines experienced under fledgling workers states as some sort of trump card.
Even now 10% of US households don't always have enough to eat. US foreign policy is in large part designed to starve people and keep others under threat of being starved. Farmland is being destroyed in the name of quick profits.
Meanwhile China has incredible stockpiles of grains just in case the worst happens, and they have prioritized national food security and self-sufficiency as a matter of national security.
