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 listened to an audio recording and found it immensely helpful to picture these "commodities" changing hands in my head
Honestly for a mid 1800s economics book written by a German dude it wasn't anywhere near as bad as I thought it would be to understand.
It also helps that he repeats explanations about concepts a thousand times a hundred different ways. Though eventually you're just like "holy fuck Marx, I got it. Yes I understood the surplus value of labor like 200 pages ago"
As someone with ADHD, this was immensely helpful for me. I was able to understand concepts like surplus value and the value of labour vs. the value of labour power on my first read.
