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.

Its about hindsight. Its not about exporting revolution to europe but wishing Stalin had struck a crippling blow to fascist that they couldn't recover from.

USSR thought incorrectly that the end of the 3rd reich would be the end of fascist aggression, at least for long enough that they could take care of domestic concerns without distraction.

Taking Berlin was only the first leg of defeating the threat of fascism. If Stalin knew what "peace" would look like maybe he would have just kept going instead of letting the fascists regroup and change tactics.

Fascism was on the ropes in 1945. Peace allowed them to turn USSR's allies into enemies and change tactics to asymmetrical warfare, economic war and dirty war.
