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)

Tolkien was fucking huge on monarchies. Despite writing multiple parts in his stories where someone having absolute power was also potrayed as a bad thing, he never seemed to put 1 and 2 together.
The original anarcho-monarchist
He actually said as much in a letter to his son: "the older I become, the more I find myself drawn to anarchism, that is, unconstitutional monarchy."
It wasn't problematic for Aryan-like white people to have a monarchy. Just the orcs, the dwarfs etc. who all happened to come from the barbaric east.
Remember how every Elf who did evil things was explicitly stated to be "dark" somehow? Whether it was hair, skin or just their "general look"?
