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

What kind of "Russian activists" did they invite? The ones who stood with "I'm ashamed to be Russian" banners? Navalny simps?
According to the summary it's Ilya Budraitskis. I'm not familiar with the name, but a quick search shows that he writes regularly for OpenDemocracy affiliated projects. To be completely honest I'm not surprised an outlet like DemocracyNow has someone like that on.
Honorary westolefto, he constantly uses terms like "antiauthoritarianism", "stalinism" and "third position" with all seriousness.
Imagine writing shit like this about the Yeltsin putsch and bragging it ffs:
God that is so smug it burns my eyes
Well, he's known trotskist with 20+ years in politics. Actually, i've met him in personal a few times over the years. The first time was back in 2002 on some united left demonstration. I wanted to make friends with one charming girl who somehow was member of his trot wankers organisation so together with my friend we've reached their stand at demo. There we've meet Ilya who tried to convince us to join his bunch of loosers (as far as i remember it was Socialist Resistance, Russian section of CWI). Sadly for him we were too fueled with beer and Soviet revanchism so we started to mock him with stupid pubertat jokes like offering the donation of icepick.
simply one of the best things I've ever read
Never heard of him. Thanks!
There are always tons of compradors to choose from, from any country. They can get them to say what they like and hide it behind a token for inclusivity and accuse you of not giving agency to a people or whatever ivy league poli sci bullshit they came up with.
