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
If you post an archived link (excluding archive.org), include the URL of the original article as well
Unless it's an obvious shitpost, include relevant sources
For articles behind paywalls, try to include the text in the post
Mark all posts containing NSFW images as NSFW (including things like Nazi imagery)

They do a bunch of DNS stuff but their main product is a proxy that tests traffic and blocks malicious connections e.g. Ddos attempts, bit traffic etc. It also distributes your website over DNS to reduce loading latency when people want to connect to it from far away. It works great which is why people use it (it's tough to block specifically malicious traffic) but it's also a proprietary US company that needs to basically take over your front facing website to do what it does, and since they analyse traffic they also get to keep a copy of it. There's been issues in the past with them collaborating with law enforcement no matter what their clients might want. And of course if their service goes down like it did today none of their websites are available anymore
