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 am so unbelievably sick of reading about Saudi Arabia in regards to European football and the wildly eurocentric and xenophobic “enlightened thinkpieces” that there have been a true glut of recently.
Modern KSA is obviously not an ideal setup, but good lord nothing gets Englishmen foaming at the mouth like a brown person having more money than them. It’s not an issue at all if Americans buy up the league and spend a billion pounds in a year on players, but as soon as it’s an Arab or Chinese it is just a bridge too far for them.
Football is my cognitive dissonance zone, the top level game just cannot be enjoyed if you don’t approach it with a healthy level of dissonance. The corruption and exploitation is rampant all across the sport, please just let me ignore it in peace lol. Can’t even go to r/soccer for news now without getting myself wound up.
I just hate all billionaire owned clubs. Fan owned clubs ftw.
Agreed, I wish my club were fan owned but it will never be possible at this point unless something drastic happens. Can’t stop supporting them though
