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:
- 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)

Its not about cost of living as much as it is the amount of wage labor expected. Wage labor takes people away from their homes and partners for a significant part of the day. All that time apart means less time to do the deed and less social bonding.
On top of that the rise of dual income homes means all the unpaid labor of house work has to get done in the 8 waking hours not spent doing wage labor or sleeping. So instead of the "bread winner" coming home from work and relaxing while the house spouse does the unpaid labor of cooking and cleaning they have to do that after putting in a day at work. No time to rest means no energy to get frisky.
