Being programmers and what not, are they supposed to be this gullible?

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)

MODERATORS
take it from a programmer, folks: knowing how to make computer do magic doesnt equate to general intelligence or automatically make one better at unrelated things like politics. computer shit is a skill like any other that just happens to have a (false) connotation of "high intelligence" whatever that means.
sorry fellow nerds, you aint special. read lenin.
Also a code monkey. Programming requires very little intelligence (not that intellugence is even real).
Seconded from a (probably far worse) programmer.
+1 more from a software developer. I'm getting more alienated from my work every day :/
this is the truth and it applies to all fields
I've met a fair share of programmers who think they're a unique gift to the world but could barely tie their own shoelaces figuratively
Any specific text from him?
State and Revolution; Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism; "Left-Wing" Communism: An Infantile Disorder; and What is to be Done? are the texts I see most often recommended.
