Welcome again to everybody. Make yourself at home. In the time-honoured tradition of our group, here is the weekly discussion thread.

☭ Find theory on ProleWiki, marxists.org, Anna's Archive
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.

I don't know if the following is much of a thing in person or more an internet thing, but it reminds of some years back seeing some Europeans on reddit talking about the Romani people in a way that was extremely similar to how racist Yankees talk about black people, and upon pointing this out, I remember there being a sort of a "how dare you" reaction to the comparison being made. But that was a clue to me, I guess, of like, yeah they're not exactly squeaky clean over there. It may be the principal difference is just that US policies tend to be worse for the country's own people than (some parts of) "western" Europe are for theirs, but from things I hear, this is in decline.
You were lucky. The reaction i got upon pointing out the same thing was, and i quote:
"Well if the blacks in America are as bad as our [Roma] then it's no wonder they don't like them over there."
Except they used a slur instead.
Yikes, wow.
