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)

Whatshould they use?
Not any messaging app funded by the NED's software funding arm, the Open Technology Fund:
Current funding: https://www.opentech.fund/projects-we-support/supported-projects/
Past funding: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.opentech.fund%2Fprojects-we-support%2Fsupported-projects%2F
Hmm, the lists include well-known tools like Tor and WireGuard ? I have no doubt about the nefarious nature of NED, but they seem to mainly support tools that allow them to spread their propaganda/regime change garbage. Surely they also support tools they cant manipulate/tap into ?
Keeping CIA agents safe from discovery is worth letting some people also encrypt their chats and browsing data. If anything, funding these tools prevents revolutionaries and anti-imperialists from adopting them.
Honestly I wouldn't use technology. I'd avoid it as much as possible. I'd go to meetings in person without phone and make sure everyone else does the same. I'd arrange future meetings in person with hand signals to draw the person out of a room with electronic devices into one without before discussing the when, where, and why.
Just so many ways for it to be used against you by the empire with their hacking of telecoms and devices.
Telegram is generally better from what I've seen.
They don't know who is talking to whom, that metadata is encrypted. All they know is the last time you were online, the date you signed up and your phone number. (Fair last one may be an issue) We've seen this tested again and again.
