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 think this is a bad take. Sure, it is a kids show, but anyone who has a mild amount of knowledge of marxism knows about the concepts of base and superstructure, and the division of the latter into political and civil society described by Gramsci.
Taking a look at the messages delivered by TV shows and other forms of media lets us see the type of ideological positions that the current mode of production allows, promotes, concedes and forbids at the moment of their production to all or some demographics - Including children and teenagers, whose opinions are the easiest to mold and shape for the future. Whoever thinks media aimed to the youngest sectors of society does not have any political effects has been completely oblivious to the spineless liberalism that Potter-mania has resulted in years later amongst masses of millennial man-children.
And yes, there are more efficient ways to use your time to spread communism than recording, editing and uploading a 10 min video essay on a children's cartoon, but so are there better ways than commenting about it on a Cambodian trout fishing forum. Take it easy and do with your life and time whatever you want.
