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.

Welcome again to everybody. Make yourselves at home. In the time-honoured tradition of our group, here is the weekly discussion thread.

Sometimes I find myself wanting to go like "what would my life be like if xyz part of my life had gone differently?" That sort of thing. I spose in kind of a regretful way, like wishing for a better path. But then, from a diamat point of view, it seems about as meaningful as asking "what if I was a different person?" I mean, my genetics would be the same still, but if my early life had been significantly different for example, I wouldn't have a lot of the same memories that I have, I wouldn't have had a lot of the same experiences that I had to grow from. There'd still be aspects of me that would be the same (namely, predispositions) but the rest of it could be pretty different.
But I might be looking at it in more of an old paradigm way too. Maybe the communist way would be to say "yeah, it could have been better and here's how" for the purposes of better understanding what needs to be better for people broadly going forward. I can't change what the foundation of my life was, but I can try to contribute to other people having a better foundation.
This is a beautiful attitude. I'm more of the mind justice may be more us learning to accept, only keep past memories as data points for mapping a way forward, releasing resentments. The body will follow the mind.
