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.

Might be a hot take but the therapist anecdote sounds so based to me.
In case you didn't watch: (TW:self-kill)

a guy said felt like ending his own life because his wife left him with the kids and his therapist said he would not see the next five years plan and it actually worked. I wanna live in a society where people are that hype for the development of the world ๐ญ
Will check out later, I love socialist anecdotal evidence a lot, it isn't what first changed my mind but it's what built my faith in it
She is not an honest actor though. Likes to twist history into supporting her own beliefs which at the time revolves around Islam (she is a convert, wasn't born into it).
There's no difference between Muslims who are converted or born into it.
There is, you get a pass for being born into it. If you actually are delusional enough to convert into it, then I don't think you were Materialist in the first place.
Is there something about Islam that sets it apart from other faiths?
Is there something about religion that prevents materialist understandings of political-economy?
"Is there something about Islam that sets it apart from other faiths?" There is some nuance but still pretty much the same as the rest of the mainstream. That is why people get a pass when they are born into it.
You can believe anything in politics or economics, it is just really weird that you find yourself believing in non-material entities when you claim to be a Marxist.
Does Marxism seek to explain the cosmos, or just human civilization?
Newton was Christian and Einstein was Jewish, did their faiths prevent them from studying the world scientifically? No.
