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)

I think libs are allergic to logic. What ideology does to a mfer smh 🤦
It's hard to be logical and a liberal because liberalism means avoiding uncomfortable conclusions.
Like: 'vote!' For who mf—all the candidates have the same policies? The logical conclusion is that capitalism and democracy are incompatible and that voting won't substantially change anything. Yet there they are, refusing to follow the logic.
I quite like that Roderic Day article on the masses and rebels: people accept the messaging in media not because they're brainwashed gullible idiots but because they choose to go long with it as a self defence mechanism. You can't shout, 'From the river to the sea' at work and keep your job in many places. So people stay silent or condemn Hamas or whatever instead.
Following the logic means accepting that you're peeling the liberal mask off the fascist beast and that you're happy with it. Or it means becoming a revolutionary. The first one is easy. The second one means a lifetime of hardship. Liberals choose the easy one, hence they must reject the premise of logic.
Better to stay silent? Sure. But for those who've abandoned logic, compassion, and principles for treats and acceptance by other bootlickers, what's support for one more atrocity?
I didn’t realize multiple Roderic Day articles were relevant here, lol. He’s just ubiquitous now.
Hah. He writes some great stuff. I was thinking of this one: https://redsails.org/masses-elites-and-rebels/
I know, that one’s a classic at this point.
Happy Roderic Day, for those who celebrate.
Logic is a socialist thing.
I feel like what we have on our side more than logic is reality. Science and facts will always support socialism.
Logic is just something that happens in our brains, and it really helps figure a lot of things out. But it doesn’t represent reality in any direct way. Logic is not part of the laws of nature.
Science shows this very clearly. A lot of factual science makes absolutely no logic sense. Quantum mechanics as a whole is the easiest example of this.
But even simple things, like “races”. Logically it’s something that made sense at the time it came into being. But now we know through scientific facts (genetics etc.) that all humans are the same race, and all apparent races are absolutely superficial differences.
And that’s the issue with logic. Logic conforms to ideology, not to reality. We must break with certain accepted “logics” to find the truth sometimes.
Which honestly makes libs like this even scarier. They are PURE ideology. No thought, just an eternal ghost haunting them into being rabid fucks.

That’s disturbing, thanks for the information.
