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.
See this GitHub page for a collection of sources about socialism, imperialism, and other relevant topics.
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)

Socialism is when you act smug on the internet, communism is when your smuglord post hits the frontpage of reddit.
Honestly, fuck this Western attitude of throwing their own movements under the bus for not being perfect out of the gate. Whenever reaction doesn't happen spontaneously, it's hopeless because "Westerners" are inherently passive, when it actually happens it's hopeless because they're not doing it right. If you're that hopeless just leave politics already, this is not the place for people who don't believe in change.
Also, Bad Contrapanada, people can be angry about multiple things at the same time. And there's this neat thing called "propagandizing" that relies on it.
Either way, a woman was shot at point blank range multiple times for trying to drive away from a brownshirt. It was filmed and the footage is easily available. Trying to frame the reaction to this as somehow bad is some bizarre lack of empathy.
Was gonna edit but I think there's a broader point to be made about the lack of discipline of non-partisan online Western left as a whole. Lots of these left content creators seem allergic to submitting their publications to a greater editorial line, and still seem to think of their online presence as it pertains to them as individuals rather than to society as a communication apparatus.
You're allowed to have your frustrations and vent them out among friends without thought, but if you're doing it on the internet at least have the decency to use an alt account. Otherwise this is some "personal brand" type shit.
