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.

Poor proletarian workers, especially minorities, did not have the resources to either run away to Canada, or the ability to subject their families to financial ruin by serving time in prison or leaving them behind.

The people who were dodging the draft were college educated labour aristocrats who had enough money themselves or from their families to keep their heads down in Canada until the draft blew over.

Should they have served time in prison or dodged the draft? Morally, absolutely. Materially? That’s where the idealism falls apart.

“You don’t understand the poor proletariat just had to kill Vietnamese farmers” let’s pretend this is true even so the vast majority of vets were volunteers
