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.

The 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' (OBBBA), also known as H.R.1 or the Budget Reconciliation Act of 2025, was signed by President Donald Trump on July 4, 2025. This federal budget legislation introduces sweeping changes to the U.S. health coverage landscape. The law implements cuts of approximately $1 trillion in federal health spending over a decade, marking the largest legislative rollback in health coverage history. Dr. Benjamin Sommers from Harvard compares the projected uninsured rate to pre-ACA levels in 2010, or potentially worse.

Starting January 2027, new work requirements will be enforced, representing the most significant component of the cuts, reducing federal funding by $325.8 billion over ten years. Medicaid beneficiaries must work, volunteer, or study for at least 80 hours a month to maintain coverage, with periodic documentation required. Exemptions apply to caregivers, students, and those with disabilities. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates 4.8 million people will lose coverage due to these requirements, primarily due to procedural issues and frequent paperwork.

I live in a parody of a country.

Why would a soldier die for this country? Are they stupid?
