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.

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.

What is the end goal of capitalism?

For communism we know that the end goal is a classless society but, unironically, what the hell is the end goal of capitalism? Rich society by achieving trickle down economics?

the workers who defend capitalism do so because they have bourgeois aspirations or just can't imagine anything different, and I don't think the capitalists think hundreds of years ahead πŸ’€

capitalism is even lame on paper.

It doesn't have one. It is a cancer. It will consume and consume and consume until it kills the host (the planet).

Materially and historically, the goal is socialism. In terms of the conscious intent of those who promote it, the goal is nothing.

Schizophrenia? (Basically ripping all things from their place and context in the service of capital, they haven’t read the book, I just watched this)
