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.

We had a bus manufacturing company here in Belgium that was making Belgian busses for our public transport but also for other countries. The company went bankrupt and the government did not want to step in. Hundreds of people lost their highly specialized jobs. A lot of them found their way to other jobs. The bus company is gone.

The ground it was on was sold to a Turkish company who will now start building... busses. On the same site. The government could have stepped in and keep a highly specialized industry but no. And now the place will do the exact same thing. All the workers are gone though so good luck finding employees.

Capitalism is the greatest and most efficient system there is.

I tried looking it up and found articles saying it was sold to a Dutch truck builder instead: https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/2026/06/19/van-hool-terrein-overnemer-gevonden/

I don't know when this started but lately every time I read or type "Fake News" my brain responds by singing "cigarette juice"
