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)

Cards on the table, I think chauvinism is stupid. I think someone in a position to recognise their chauvinism and renounce it, but refuse to, have to be stupid. I don't believe that the average person is inherently stupid, nor that idealism is an approach more in-line with human nature than materialism.
That's all conjecture, admittedly, I'm basing this on the fact that huge swathes of a bunch of countries were taught and embraced materialism. This doesn't make them correct in every issue or anything, but the comprehension that thing aren't the way they are because they were meant to be, rather that they're in a flux, a state of constant change, is the most crucial step in this. From this conjecture, which I can't show to be true yet believe anyway, it follows that people of priviledge aren't making a choice at all, they're using the only tool they've got to come to a piss poor conclusion.
I also believe that by computing a sufficient number of schrödinger's equations constantly we could predict literally anything, but that might just mean my brain's a bit mush.
