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.

Maos peasants weren't people propagandized from birth to worship capitalism and be good little nationalists that believe every other nation on earth is a shit hole, and taught that communism is the literal devil incarnate. I'd take the peasant over that any day. You could actually talk to those people without the threat of semi-automatic weapons being pointed at you. It's easier to start with a nearly blank slate then one that's had this level of propaganda drilled into their being.

Chinese people also lived under much worse conditions, including a century of humiliation and two Japanese invasions. USians aren’t yet living under deprivations anything like early 20th century Russians, Chinese, Cubans, Koreans, or Vietnamese.
Another good point. People still have things to lose. It takes extremes to get ordinary people to be willing to fight. Not only that. From weapon standpoint it takes more and more people willing to fight, in order to combat the technology superiority against us. Literally the entire US military is designed for this. Fighting against a lesser armed foe.
Appreciate that you didn't double down on it. I think Americans have no excuse, because people living in conditions far worse than anything Americans can even comprehend came together to build a better society.
But I'm no one to speak. I've barely done enough to further socialism in my own country. All I'm doing is talking to people and slowly propagandizing then to build class consciousness. Tiring process, but we play with the cards we're dealt
