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

Ah okay!
Fwiw you may get some pushback on Centrism here, because a lot of us see politics differently than simply a matter identities and ideals, like most Americans seem to. We're more interested in who owns what and who has power, more along the lines of classical economists like Adam Smith and Marx.
For example there's no central point between a master and an enslaved person (the material reality), their material interests are mutually contradictory. Similarly, we don't think there's any Centrism to be found between working people and elites, at least no real one. What's good for them is bad for us, and vise versa.
Ah I see. Well, to me, I tend to stay neutral when I am confused about something or if I'm used to something. Western influcened things are just so common. I hope you can understand that its hard for me, an American born and raised teenager to understand this whole rack of new information that goes against everything I've ever known.
I completely understand! It's good to stay neutral about things you aren't sure about, I respect that.
You bring up a good point, about western influenced things being dominant. We all start off with some core assumptions that are taught to us by the society we grow up in. It's good to examine those assumptions at some point, because they may be limiting. If you happen to have any questions, feel free to ask!
