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.

This is gonna read like such vagueposting and it's not about anything here, but god am I tired of the capitalist world uplifting controlling people; by controlling, I don't mean "anyone who imposes rules". I mean a specific brand of person who is already kind of an asshole who gets their way by being a combination of charismatic and pushy, and then capitalism creates the conditions for them to climb any given ladder of power they can find, so that they can then really throw their weight around more broadly, over incidents that basically amount to them wanting their way about something in the moment. They become these mini-tyrants and people learn to act differently around them: more ingratiating, more avoidant, so as to avoid their ire.
To put it in more specific context, Trump is sorta the culmination of this as a leader of society, but the capitalist world is riddled with people who are far less bad and far less obvious than Trump, but nevertheless have similar dynamics in how others learn to interact with them. In a reasonable society, these kind of people would be kept far from power and be pressured into reconsidering their ways instead of the other way around.
