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.

If you issue sanctions, aren't you the one who has to make sure you can enforce them? Like you can say "China can't buy from US-based companies" or "our companies are not allowed to purchase from China".

But this is unilateral, China doesn't give a fuck about your sanctions. You placed them on them, it's your responsibility to make sure they're enforced. "Evading" sanctions my ass they're just doing business as usual, not their problem, not their responsibility.

No, you see, communism is redfash so the evil tankie dictator would cooperate to make things worse for Chinese citizens because they’re an evil tankie dictator, so checkmate tankies

Exceptions are given to the companies who have connections to the state. I recall during trump’s trade war, there was a list published of companies who are exempt from tariffs.
