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:
- No bigotry, anti-communism, pro-imperialism or ultra-leftism (anti-AES)
- We support indigenous liberation as the primary contradiction in settler colonies like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel
- If you post an archived link (excluding archive.org), include the URL of the original article as well
- Unless it's an obvious shitpost, include relevant sources
- For articles behind paywalls, try to include the text in the post
- Mark all posts containing NSFW images as NSFW (including things like Nazi imagery)

I think it's pretty normal to not be in high spirits about it all the time. Where it would probably count as unhealthy is if it was an actual active belief like "there's no way communism can win because xyz" kind of thing, or if it was general dooming like "we're doomed because the species sucks" or something.
Personally, though I have low moments for sure, I don't tend to feel that communism itself is in trouble because I'm confident that due to the way contradictions work, support for it will keep popping up and due to dialectical and historical materialism being a science, people would rediscover it even if it was majorly repressed. But also, China is right there and is doing quite well. The imperial core itself, I don't know, it's hard to be optimistic about it sometimes. But I think things are going to reach a point where that doesn't matter very much for the rest of the world and they will be able look on the (one day former) empire regions with pity rather than fear.
