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)

Finland being considered the victor of the Winter War would be a hilarious act of copium if it wasn't for how widespread of a belief it is, which makes it just plain sad. Finland lost its second largest city after the war. Imagine how it would be if in a war your country lost its second largest city (Los Angeles for the USA, Birmingham for the UK, Hamburg for Germany...) and think if there would be any way you could ever twist that in your imagination as a victory.
It would be like getting out of a street fight having lost a leg and claiming that you won because you could have lost both and because your adversary got really tired by the end of the fight.
In the US, there's a pretty sizable percentage who refuse to admit we lost Vietnam. I don't know any dumb enough to say we won it, but I feel the mentality is similar: "I didn't lose the fight; I just felt bored after getting my nose smashed in and losing most of my blood."
Vietnam is just the US' version of the "stabbed in the back" myth. WE WOULD'VE WON IF IT WEREN'T FOR THE DAMN HIPPIES!
