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.

Under an imperialist UK independence of the constituent nations can only be beneficial. Mind you Scotland has happily participated in that imperialism in the past, but they also got crossed with brexit during the independence referendums. In this way I can only see a supposedly communist figure denying this independence to be an opportunist. Now, a socialist Scotland could certainly be part of a socialist Britain with a socialist England. But this is something they can renegotiate once they become socialist.

Id be wary of espousing this point too much, yes Scotlands upper class particpated in this, but for reference I am scottish and my ancsetors did not benefit from this trade, they where enslaved in coal mines in Scotland.

As this Scottish historian says, the colour of slavery was not black, it was green.
