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)

If the sheer number of slave and colonial rebellions were general knowledge, the idea that 1.4bn people would meekly do as they're told by a dictator would be obviously bullshit.
Unfortunately, acknowledging that slaves and colonies constantly fought the masters and colonisers doesn't fit the narrative that they all 'enjoyed the experience'—a little something to put on the CV. And this rebellion is ongoing; the US might install puppet regimes but still the people rise up. Everywhere in the world.
Apparently, we're supposed to believe that the only people who don't rise up are those under communist 'dictatorships'. They must be very effective. Is suppose this is what happens when you force everyone into housing, fill up their fridges, and provide them with energy—they become too confused and dazed to think about acting out.
