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.

I finally started writing today. Like fully fledged fiction writing, that i finally found the inspiration for, and now I have to go to work. I'm genuinely angry rn I don't wanna stop

nice! it feels to me there is a dearth of communist fiction out there, although admittedly i have only mostly read fanfiction for a longtime so maybe there is much more original communist fiction compared to fanfic which for whatever reason seems to have a particularly high concentration of shitlib/radlib works (not to mention ive found way more outright fascist work than communist fanfics!)

it's hard to do such fanfics when there's not much in way of lore to build upon, especially ones concerning material and historical crises

i dont think it's any harder than any other fiction? surely even a little shared world building is easier than coming up with all of it on your own? it's so bad man people dont even display class struggle of like, workers coming together to strike and how the owning class deals with that? like ultimately even with a magic system i dont think should actually be that hard to display some sort of class struggle, really my complaint boils down to not only are there very view outright socialist works there are barely even any works that show class struggle in fantasy/sci fi worlds?
