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.

I expect that accepting defeat will be career ending for a lot of the politicians in the west.

A lot of those might only have till the next election anyway, thanks to the inflation they've either encouraged or done nothing about. Then again, support for Ukraine is kinda cross-party in the west. It's hard to predict. Considering the brain worms, one thing we might hope for is that media barons somehow lose a load of money because of the war and shift the narrative hard. This might be too much to hope for, though.

It's gonna be interesting to watch how this develops, my expectation is that deteriorating material conditions are what's going to matter in the end. You can feed people as much media as you want, but if they can't make their ends meet then they're still gonna be pissed.
