If you don't know what Matrix is

Matrix is a protocol for real-time communication implemented by various applications ("clients") -- the official one is Element for Linux, macOS, Windows, Android, and iOS), but there are many others, e.g. those listed here. It's also federated, like Lemmy. To use a Matrix client, you need to make a Matrix account at one of the Matrix homeservers (similar to how you can make an account on lemmygrad.ml or lemmy.ml but still access both of them). We have our own Matrix homeserver at genzedong.xyz, and you don't need an email address to register an account there.

A Matrix space is a collection of rooms (equivalent to Discord channels) focused on various topics.

The space is intended for pro-AES Marxists-Leninists, although new Marxists may also be accepted depending on their vetting answers.

To join the space, you need to first create a Matrix account. If you want to create an account on another server, you can likely register within your Matrix client of choice. If you want to create an account on genzedong.xyz, you have to use this form (intended to prevent spam accounts).

Once you have an account, join #rules:genzedong.xyz and read the rules. Then, join #vetting-questions:genzedong.xyz and read the questions. Finally, join #vetting-answers:genzedong.xyz and answer the vetting questions there. Usually, you'll be accepted within a few hours if there are no issues with your answers.

So every once in a while an article will float around or someone at a talk will say something along the lines of "hey, turns out that the communist leaders actually believe in communism."

(I wouldn't reccomend reading/watching the first two links here. The last one is fine)

There's this article by Jacobin:https://jacobin.com/2025/02/xi-jinping-ideology-china-rivalry/

"Importantly, Rudd argues that CPC ideology is not an elite parlor game, a rhetorical weapon, a pragmatic means of control, or an analytical framework. Or rather, it isn’t just all those things. It is also, Rudd argues, genuinely believed."

There's this bit from Sarah Paine:https://youtu.be/KSCH6svGRFM

"Don't ever kid yourself that the communist party of china [hey look she said the name correctly] doesn't believe in communism"

And part of this lecture by Stephan Kotkin: https://youtu.be/sXutg47BwEU

"It turns out the communists, were communists" (this is at the very end of the video)

I find it funny that either the vast majority who claim to know so much about china/ussr etc. Who claim that the communists weren't communists show themselves to have no investigative capabilities, or that in the liberal world it's just expected that people will constantly betray their ideology for personal gain

Thoughts on this? There is really not much proof that the movement exists other than social media posts, which is not really trustable to gauge these things.

The European Union has banned three journalists — two Germans, Alina Lipp and Thomas Röper, and a Turkish national living in Germany, Hüseyin Doğru — from entering the EU, and frozen their bank accounts. The EU accuses them of “spreading pro-Russian propaganda”, “undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine”, and “destabilising” EU countries through their reporting.

In fact, they are being punished solely for engaging in critical reporting about Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Gaza.

The fact that challenging the EU-NATO narrative on the war in Ukraine or on the genocide in Gaza is now effectively treated as a quasi-criminal, de facto act of treason justifying extra-judicial punishment in the form of travel bans and asset freezes is nothing short of terrifying.

The ethical and legal implications are staggering: two EU citizens have effectively been stripped of their basic civil liberties — exiled from virtually the entire European continent and subjected to financial strangulation — through a simple act of bureaucratic fiat, without trial or court ruling. This is punishment without process, imposed by an unaccountable, out-of-control elite, in defiance of the most basic principles of the rule of law.

Making the ruling even more chilling is the fact that the decision is legally binding on all member states. That means that anyone who provides funds or resources to the accused journalists would also be in violation of the sanctions and could themselves be sanctioned as a result.

With the snap of a finger, EU officials have swept aside centuries of legal development. Core principles such as the separation of powers (whereby punishment should be the exclusive domain of independent courts), proportionality and the foundational concept of nulla poena sine lege — no punishment without law — have effectively been discarded.

In effect, EU elites have discovered a way to bypass all legal and constitutional safeguards against the repression of dissent, by weaponising a mechanism originally designed to target foreign entities, not domestic citizens.

The geographic scope of the ruling is also entirely without precedent: while in the past there have been isolated cases of individual states denying re-entry to their own nationals for political reasons, typically by revoking their citizenship, a practice broadly condemned under international law, there is no historical precedent for a supranational body imposing a travel ban on a citizen of a member state across almost thirty countries simultaneously.

This exposes the dangerous flipside of the EU’s supranational legal framework: rights that apply uniformly across all member states can just as easily be revoked across the entire bloc through mere bureaucratic fiat.

In the past, individuals facing political persecution in one European country could seek refuge or political asylum in another. That is no longer possible, especially when the persecution is orchestrated by the supranational and international authorities of the Union itself.

All Europeans who believe in democracy and the rule of law — whether on the left, the right or anywhere in between — must push back against this monstrosity, regardless of what they think of Röper, Lipp, or Doğru’s views. If we don’t stand up for them now, any one of us could be next.

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.
