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

It's revolutionary in the sense that it inflicts a heavy defeat on the imperialists and severely depletes their arsenals. Already the conflict has greatly accelerated the global transition to multipolarity, encouraging Russia but also other countries in the global south that have seen how fickle of a partner the West can be, to reorient, develop alternative trading networks, and reduce their dependence on institutions and financial mechanisms controlled by the imperialist West.
It also destabilizes Europe, one of the two main centers of Western imperialism, politically and economically. This takes pressure off of revolutionary movements in the global south and opens the door to anti-NATO and anti-EU forces in Europe to take advantage of this defeat to agitate for breaking free of these institutions of hegemonic imperialist control which are directly responsible for the severe crisis many European countries now find themselves in.
There's also another aspect to this which is that the breakdown in trade with the West forced Russia to start developing economic ties with the Global South. Developing countries are now directly benefiting from Russian resources and technology. Russia helping Niger build a nuclear reactor is a great example of this dynamic. So, while the West being weakened forced to pour their remaining resources into a futile war, the rest of the world is enjoying an improved economic situation as a result.
