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)

I didn't finish the last season as I got bored with all the psychodelic sci-fi stuff and how tumblr kids seemed more interested in supernatural theorising than eating the rich, and it seemed to affect the show. But the first season or two is mostly about nullifying digital assets of a hegemonic multinational that looks suspiciously like what Amazon became, and ending all civilian bank debts to them through (actually somewhat realistic) hack magic. Kinda like turning Stuxnet back at the USA. It has lots of anarcho-liberal takes but at least they're trying something I guess. Actors and cinematography are really competent for something commercially made in the USA too.
But after they succeed at it turns out it's actually impossible to end capitalism, because some trans Chinese person is the actual the big bad capitalist in charge of the world and they do some Hack Wars or something. They introduce a Good FBI Agent™, which helps fight the Bad FBI Agents. Also this Chinese group (called literally "Dark Army") is presented as if they were responsible for the Trump election, which is just rich. Amazon buying it explains a lot actually.
Ty for giving me depression from the secondhand transphobia and sinophobia. 💀
