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)

Yeah, I thought it was odd that they’d take a dig at the DPRK, but at this point what do we expect?
The propaganda runs so strong that even leftists living in the imperial core are prone to it.
I am from a country where the pictures of the dear leader are plastered everywhere. The vast majority of us despite “Nationalism” being a subject we are taught in school wouldn’t take a bullet for the dear leader. We will fight for our country but not the monarch. I expect true-believer monarchists to be less than 1% of the population. Most people won’t rise up to keep the peace and stability not because they are infinitely loyal.
I have no reason to think it is any different elsewhere. People will stand by the leader to defend their country and maintain the peace and stability but not out of blind love or devotion.
