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.

Kinda crazy that both faces of Iran in western media (Araghchi and Marandi) are both phd and both fought in the iranian revolution. Both came from relatively wealthy families too and still served, Marandi literally born and raised in the US but went back to Iran when duty called.

Could you imagine the current iranian diaspora going back to Iran to fight for "freedom"?

I can't imagine the 99% of Iranian diaspora even going back to rebuild. They are out there cheering and "protesting" but if they get what want it wont change their life at all. They will still have to go to their shitty job and pay their mortgage. All that will happen is that they wont have any hate to focus on to help them accept the shitty conditions of life under capitalism.

I wish there was a way without destroying Iran for them to feel the crushing weight of the false hope they built their lives around turning into anticlimactic weight around their neck. Instead most of them will be more bitter and insufferable than before when this war is over.

Marandi was a voluntary child soldier on top of that.
