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.

A sort of silly one that I think of is probably my interest in fashion (silly in that it's a pretty minor thing overall). Though I'm not sure it'd be called reactionary, so much as individualist. Anyway, the individualist brain worms part is that a part of me holds onto some of the stuff about good fashion = cool, important, good status. Stuff like that. Not to say I'd consciously treat somebody different on account of fashion, but unconsciously is harder to say.

I don't tend to embrace fashion much in RL because I don't really have the money to throw at fashion, so it's mainly been a thing I've expressed in video games, historically. This isn't to say the entirety of my interest in fashion is individualist bougie thought, but some part of it is. I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with being interested in fashion and understanding the practice of it could go toward collectivist causes too, such as in uniforms in a war or design that seeks to promote a certain kind of culture. But I haven't really put my interest in it toward that, so it's kind of just this old paradigm hobby.
