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.

traoré-peel

Tried to make that xi-peel emoji but with Traoré and Sankara. It's kind of hard to get the effect of peeling paper.

Well, just got banned from the book server I loved over discussing communism. I know, not a great idea (possibly the worst idea) but they had a political channel and it wasn't explicitly against the rules, and I informed them numerous times early on that I would stop if I was warned.

I certainly learned my lesson.

Edit: I also asked what was and wasn't allowed and they informed me that anything was allowed so long as I was respectful about it.

Edit 2: It was a Discord server. I bet you could tell already but I still felt the need to clarify that.

New here! And already this community feels so much nicer than lemmy.ml, I might stick around here a lot more.

[–] Makan@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 day ago

Yay, newcomer

Why are you a fruit? How does a fruit become sentient?

That's a CIA classified document I'm not authorized to release.

There are less liberals here... but that cozy feeling means we are failing to agitate among the masses... and that is the 7th type of liberalism.

[–] pineapple_@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

I feel like in person agitation is far more effective than online. I'm not sure if people are actually being convinced of marxism in lemmy.ml

I could be very wrong though.

[–] Commiejones@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I was mostly just making a joke but my anticommunist programing was broken by online agitation.

[–] pineapple_@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 day ago

Same for me I suppose.

So I was in a lecture and there were some guys in front of me. They looked back at my fanny pack which has a communist sticker on it, and grinned to themselves about it. I made eye contact with them. You could tell they were looking down on me. I don't know why they couldn't be normal about it and just disagree without making themselves feel superior. It triggered my self esteem issues a lot and I wish I said something.

Practice your "we will not apologize for the terror" and "I am thinking about you going on Tito's one way coal mine tour" face.

What I've gotten from some peers, other than puzzlement, is at times what I think is malevolent curiosity, oughtright dismissal, or being made fun of (like this one blond shitlib of the overachiever type I know).

I think the best way to deal with these types of people is to shoot them down, one way or another. Dismiss them, bore them to death, or make them embaressed that they even thought of doing what they did.

But that's what we want to do, and sometimes we can't. For now it's best not to let them get to you, so that you can hopefully get back at them.

How do we fit CIA/NED/FBI/FED interference in this model?

[–] Commiejones@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

1st box is FBI 2nd box is NED funded "NGO" 3rd box is CIA

Hey, do the peeps here know how to get actually accurate news on the Russia-Ukraine War? All I can find is a bunch of Western cope about how Ukraine is winning.

You, comrade, get a point for giving me a source (what you can use it for is secret).

[–] p0ntyp00l@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The Greater Eurasia Podcast is pretty good for having lots of expert guests on to talk about it and geopolitics at large, but you do still need to remain a bit critical; Glenn Diesen has lots of different types of guests on and some of them have more to learn from than others lol. Imperfect but I still tune in regularly.

[–] LeninZedong@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 2 days ago

I appreciate the source (though I am not a major fan of podcasts, and yeah, I should be careful if I ever decide to see the one you recommended).

I usually check Alexander Mercouris. He's pretty pro-russian but so is reality. He tries to be evidence based in his assessment. He is british and a liberal but still manages to be a half decent human and not half bad at reporting. But I always listen at 2x speed because he talks so bloody slow.

“The bourgeoisie of the whole world, which looks complacently upon the wholesale massacre after the battle, is convulsed by horror at the desecration of brick and mortar!” ― Karl Marx, The Civil War in France

Kind of a very relevant quote.

I think it might be time to take a break from the site lol
I've been doing kinda badly mentally lately with life shit and THAT thread (not to vaguepost but i think we all know the one) genuinely had made me feel the need to take a step back and focus on my fitness and reading routines and stop doomscrolling.
Didn't think it was possible to see genuine dogpiling and bullying on this instance but here we are.

I feel you. Apparently rule 3 goes out the window when people believe something was created with AI. Like do people not get the implications of how easily serious conversations can be derailed if people can just claim AI and poison the well about whatever was said. It's unprincipled, reactionary behavior. Wrestling with ideas rather than individuals is pragmatism in the context of relative anonymity online, not just about being friendly; we can struggle over an analysis regardless of who or where it came from. If we have to know where it came from in order to do so, internet discussion becomes limited to only discussing information direct from public sources.

That said, people shouldn't take everything they see on the internet at face value, including from public sources. Even liberals would probably agree on that one. But there is also never going to be a magic formula or intuition or vibe check for discerning when you're being deceived. Only careful investigation can consistently and reliably reveal that and it's simply impractical to be thorough with everything posted online, so you have to sort of read in a fixed state of one eyebrow raised without making your head hurt and your tone hostile.

Take your time comrade. mental health is more important than any site.
