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)

His whole channel is what happens when historical materialism is rejected while attempting to explain historical phenomenon inadequately explained by "mainstream liberalism". Go through that guy's video channel and please let me know at what point he emphasises significantly class struggle or even means of production in any of his >100 videos. It all becomes essentialising civilisational cultures or equivalents and retrospectively explaining an outcome much like tea leaves reading.
His channel is more interesting about discovering parts of historical perspectives that one may not have come across before for further reading and exploration. He may or may not get several facts right but what leaves wanting is the explanatory power of understanding said facts.
Capital that has developed western supremacism will allow for any narrative to persist and proliferate that scapegoats its own culpability, including modern equivalents of protocols of zion.
It would be worthwhile for self-claimed marxists to learn what positivism is, why it is not marxist and how to supercede it to produce a deeper science.

If anyone has good youtube videos or online articles then please feel free to post. On this particular topic I don't recall an easy beginner guide that breaks down why positivism is wrong though I haven't searched for one recently.
