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 don't usually think about this but literacy is underrated af.

I think it's amazing that we can read the thoughts of someone who died decades ago, and then learn from their mistakes, and their successes. Or read their fears and hopes for the future.

On a related note, knowing English is amazing as well. There is a lot of old books in English or translated to English.

Funny how the only system which has historically always produced near complete literacy amongst its population is socialism.

Books are the most important weapon of Communism. Besides actual weapons.
