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.

Welcome again to everybody. Make yourselves at home. In the time-honoured tradition of our group, here is the weekly discussion thread!

P.S. Update on those stability improvements/enhancements I mentioned in my previous weekly thread: they're finished. The matrix server uptime is now better. Suspiciously better, some might say. Anyway, enjoy the reliability >:3

the latest call of duty might be the worst piece of war propaganda i've ever seen, even worse than the previous games.

If they let you play as the DPRK though I might just have to pirate it 👀

Maybe I will too, so I can play the local player and be a North Korean shooting down American solider NPCs.

Was reading blackshirts and reds and remembered a certain subreddit (tankiejerk) when reading this passage:

Orwell (with Orwellian doublethink) characterized the condemnation of communism as a lonely courageous act of defiance. Today, his ideological progeny are still at it, offering themselves as intrepid left critics of the Left, waging a valiant struggle against imaginary Marxist-Leninist-Stalinist hordes.

I had the idea of making this meme on Cuba. I was unsure if it was tactless given Cuba's current situation, but I still wanted to put it somewhere.

Cuba sweep

Went to a football match in Germany and despite the criticism I have for their fans, especially regarding Palestine, it was a breath of fresh air compared to The Netherlands. Saw several anti Nazi and far right flags, anti homophobia stuff, rainbow flags even. There were 6000 away fans present and there was no barrier between them and the home fans. Just vibing with each other. Stuff like that would be unthinkable back home.

And this was at Schalke. Not even a prime example of a left wing club. The Netherlands really is a shit country in a lot of ways.

trying to introduce friend to marx's theories by first discussing the way they are taught economics

[–] 6kb_@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 6 days ago

quite a lot of it is just the shock that marx wasn’t a moralist and that’s what all diamat fervently seeks to avoid, but now i’m graduating to trying to use the economic ideas of rate of profit to fall/guiding things around price signals and value itself, and this is where i fret if i get the concepts wrong i’m fucked

Writing idea:

Stereotypical greedy old-school businessperson, except they are a Communist because they think that raising common prosperity is the most stable way to raise their own wealth.

Glad to be back here, i think i was gone for a month

I have been feeling anxious for so long that I do not know of the flat line I feel right now is normal behavior or if I'm in some sort of depressive episode. Just grinding away at work, hanging out with friends and dating a nice woman. Maybe it is peace. But the occasional absence of feeling like I'm in danger feels strange after years. I did sign up for therapy to get through some stuff, though. Maybe it helps.

Have a great week, everyone! Whenever times get hard, it helps to zoom out and see that whatever may be coming your way now is temporary. All obstacles exist within time, so rolling with them as they come and weathering the storm will help keep you optimistic even as times get tough.

As always, communism will win.
