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.

Where territorial demand for sovereign countries is discussed openly like it is completely normal. Thankfully today's China has way greater industrial capacity than USSR.

Yes, it is jarring. I'm pretty sure ww3 has already begun too. This reads too much like the last one.

It begun with the war I Ukraine imo.
The US is currently preparing for the worst in case the current proxy war doesn't resolve peacefully

Yes. The war in Ukraine is, for all intents and purposes, the Spanish Civil War equivalent of our time.

Too bad this time the fascists have nukes and enough of them to wipe the planet.

America today reminds me more of America from the late 19 century around the time of the Spanish-American War than the Third Reich. Third Reich was even heavily inspired by that period of American history

The US is definitely retreating to the post-Civil War, pre-WWI order.

This is the next phase for an empire declining in it's rate of profit. The only way for continued growth for the existing model is an economy of conquest, which is why they're committing to spending 1.5 trillion dollars on the military. It's only going to worsen.

world war 1 was also primarily driven by the massive expansion of the military-industrial complex and several petty wars before that.
