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.

I'd be interested to hear thoughts about this discussion from Comrades in Hexbear and Lemmygrad.

Paul has a "dotp impossible if billionaires still exist" understanding of Marxism-Lenninism so I wouldn't bother watching. Dialectics is vibes to him

I can't trust Marxist Paul's opinion on China so I dont wanna spend the time, but I'd love to be wrong

Can you elaborate why? For my own information, not for the purposes of questioning your reasoning.

There was a few specific things he said that rubbed me an Ultra sort of way, I can't remember much in particular.

I do remember specifically him and Hakim talking about China some 3-5ish years ago, which can be summed up by Hakim saying he was "hesistantly optimistic" about China and Paul chiming that he was "hesitantly pessimistic"--in context of whether or not China was actually socialist.

Perhaps he has changed, but people who get sucked into anti-Chinese leftist spaces tend to, in my experience, get worse with time, not better. Love to be wrong though.

I appreciate this sentiment, I definitely prefer to be as Hakim is. Even while acknowledging China's problems, I prefer to see it as a progressive actor taking humanity in a better direction.
