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.

I think I would be actually because I don't think those kind of people care enough about each other to fake his death and keep their mouths shut about it. Like what would be the point, from their point of view? If he were still alive, there'd be risk of him getting caught and then talking/leaking secrets to save his own hide. The more straightforward, gangster-state explanation is that he was too much in the crosshairs of the US legal system, pathetic as it is at stopping predators, and so somebody with lots of money (and there were loads tied to his name who could have been freaked out enough to do it) put a hit out on him to stop him from talking.

You haven't watched the security cam footage have you?

I have not, but I doubt that would change anything for me. If the implication is supposed to be that the footage suggests a faked death, why would they let footage like that get out in the first place if they're going to the trouble to conspire to fake a death.

Same reason they released any of the epstein files. Its a mix of inter-bourgeoisie power struggles and giving people rabbit holes where they get lost in the dark instead of finding the light of Dialectical Materialism and Class Consciousness.

Surely if he was the blackmail kingpin he would have had a dead mans trigger to release the most damning stuff he had. If he is dead why are the files only in the DOJ custody? Why are all the files so vague and only imply crimes without any solid evidence? Surely if he were dead the darkest blackmail would have been dumpped in multiple places.

Well a thing like "he might still be alive" sounds like a rabbit hole to get lost in to me. Whether he's dead or alive, he was only ever the tip of an iceberg. I mean, if we had a robust Prole Detective Agency and the means with which to bring people like him to justice, I'd say, leave no stone unturned, but the resources aren't even there to properly investigate assassinations of BLM organizers. One thing we do know is Yankee power brokers sure love their assassinations. They've been doing it to sovereign leaders of countries for decades. Possibly including their own based on what one believes about the nature of JFK's assassination.

But faking a death to save somebody like Epstein? I don't know, what precedent is there for that. I spose one could say "well it wouldn't be out in the open if there was", but like, what precedent is there for people having good reason to believe this is something the empire has done in the past? There's plenty of precedent for assassination that's known.
