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.
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)

I wish our government even pretended to give half as much of a shit as china's
Indeed, my favorite part is when people argue how Chinese government does all these things to ensure that public is happy so that it can maintain political stability for itself, and I'm like yeah that's how things should work. The government should be primarily interested in ensuring that the public supports it, this isn't some gotcha.
It shows how neoliberalism has rotted people's brains. The government making things better is bad actually as it is an attempt to gain favour. Anything other than managed decline is unthinkable.
Unless it is bending over backwards to subsidise privately owned business, then it is fine and good to pander actually. Gotta make sure that the same handful of people keep getting obscenely richer.
It’s because the sinister oriental etc etc
