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.

I saw this niche documentary (if it even was that) on the DPRK years ago and in it the maker visited a football school at one point. As in, a legit school for football. Not sure how good the facilities are these days or if China doesn't have the same, but that could explain it. More investment is more result.

Dutch media, however, is saying they are good because the regime sees this as a perfect propaganda opportunity.

Which would not explain why the men's team is shit and the women's team isn't. Because having a men's team competing would arguably be better propaganda. Can't be better facilities in a country that sees women as equal.

Correct me if i'm wrong but i think China just isn't that into football as a culture. They have other sports they are very good at.
