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)

He is such a good example to look to for how to handle the bullshit that imperialist media peddles. Notice that he doesn't take the questions of interviewers at face value as neutral and try to answer them in a neutral way. Instead, he understands the narrative being peddled, he calls attention to it, and he brings a counter narrative of his own.
Some people get tripped up in the kind of dynamic like, "Do you condemn Hamas" style bullshit. He counters rather than answering on their terms. Imagine if a guy like Mamdani was like this instead of folding so easy on imperialist narratives. He'd probably gain even more traction among the populace because of the fire behind it. By contrast, you can tell Marandi understands that he isn't here to make friends with the empire and its mouthpieces; the empire treats himself and so many others as subhuman, so why would he? It's probably easier for him to grasp this vs. a person who lives in the empire and wants to believe in reform.
to be fair to mamdani, if he were more like that he'd be dead
The Democratic leadership will just put pressure on Kathy Hochul to under fund or pull funding for Mamdani's projects. They can just financially nueter him. While Adams was allowed to run up a $50B deficit despite a city balanced budget law, Mamdani will suddenly be pressured to follow it. He could use the deficit as an excuse to slash the fascist NYPD budget, but his wee testicles won't allow him to go that far.
