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)

The way a lot of this stuff is regulated isn't through a law that literally says "you will go to jail for this." Instead it functions through a web of social control. People can lose their jobs, their ability to rent or take loans, be harassed in the streets, all for going to a protest and waving a Palestinian flag. It might not technically be "illegal" but the law isn't the only way the capitalist class controls society. There is a lot of "shaming" that goes on as well.
Yea but the tweet says 'criminal offense' and 'criminalize' which explicitly does refer to stuff regulated by law. So they're claiming display of flag and 'Palestinian clothing' are 'technically' 'illegal', which they totally pulled out of their arse
Not sure if it is illegal in Germany, but laws usually aren't so specific. Where I live we basically made “From river to the sea” illegal, because “it promotes genocide”.
