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)

not gonna lie comrade, this seems extremely unbalanced, I'm not even half way through and we've already hit the population crisis smears, atrocity propaganda, "Chinese companies are poisoning baby food for profit", China waging a "war on terror", somehow criticizing China for being a hyper-authoritarian hellscape and the wild west at the same time, and then some. I'm gonna finish it out but unless this was all a big gotcha this is basically straight from US official propaganda
And of course, all those points you've raised are valid. It is mainly the social credit system facts which were presented here surprisingly honestly and in a well-informed manner.
Still better than the usual fearmongering. I've shared this video mainly since it seems like an acceptable learning material for normies.
Is it really acceptable learning material though if it contains 10% truth with 90% pernicious lies? By appearing reasonable and objective about one thing they bolster the credibility of the falsehoods and misrepresentations they tell about everything else.
In my opinion? Yes.
It's not for you or me, it's for novices, people who will turn away the second you discredit any of the famous anti-government protests or deny the Uyghur genocide. They need to take small steps, or else they will be overwhelmed by disbelief. I speak from experience, as I went through the exact same thing, having been raised on a liberal diet my entire life.
