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.

Covid has turned Blumenthal into a crazy person. This is when the split with Ben Norton happened, and it seems Ben Norton did not handle that well at all, which turned Blumenthal even more crazy. You could say he's even a patsoc in some regards. He's heavily influenced by the likes of Jimmy Dore (who hosted him a lot during Covid), who in turn is heavily influenced by Joe Rogan. It's likely he hosted a Jiang interview because Jimmy Dore suggested it.

Fortunately, Aaron Mate and Kit Klarenberg still do good journalism through the Grayzone.
