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:
Welcome again to everybody. Make yourself at home. In the time-honoured tradition of our group, here is the weekly discussion thread.
☭ Matrix homeserver and space
☭ Theory discussion group on /c/theory@lemmygrad.ml

I can't begin to count the number of times I'm glad I have this place as a respite from how godawful most of the western English-speaking internet culture and moderation is.
On the whole, you try to enforce basic ideological lines people shouldn't mess with and you don't treat politics like dirt to sweep under the rug. Those two alone already make it stand out from a lot of spaces on the internet. And you aren't reactionary or liberal about it, which together with the other two, really makes it stand out.
This may sound exaggerative since it's "just an internet forum", but I want to say it's like a little preview of what life could be like if I lived under an AES state. A world where the system itself says no to the worst tendencies and supports betterment in theory and practice of ideology explicitly. Like it's a night and day difference in feel when you are a lone person trying to draw attention to a problem vs. when the system and community are on your side.
At the same time i find this to be a very open place that doesn't stifle discussion in that obnoxious way that liberal/ultra-leftist spaces with purity fetishes do, which is very good for encouraging newcomers to ask questions and learn without feeling like they are in a sectarian echo-chamber. So long as there is no apologia for fascism, imperialism or genocide of course...
For sure.
