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.

On one hand, it's nice to be young. On the other hand, it's annoying as hell to be treated as a child whenever I deviate from doomerism.
There is nothing more childish than doomerism. Doomerism is easy. (Realist) optimism takes effort. Doomerism is a way to avoid having to deal with the emotional pain of disappointment, it gives you license to do nothing and pat yourself on the back when things don't work out. An adult understands that disappointment is part of life, but that the only mature choice is to keep trying.
As Gramsci said, as revolutionaries we must have pessimism of the intellect but optimism of the will.
Thanks for writing this comrade. I needed it.
I appreciate this, I needed to read something like this today. It's hard dealing with people who seem almost joyful that horrible things are happening because it allows them to pat themselves on the back like you said instead of actually looking into the why of a situation and trying to understand it better. It just leads back to empty liberal "good guys vs bad guys" great man history narratives where we, the people, are just the audience to history.
