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.

"Communism bad because no oranges and bananas!"

[–] bobs_guns@lemmygrad.ml 49 points 1 year ago (2 children)

man, screw bananas. if we can't have bananas without absolutely screwing over Guatemala or Colombia or whoever, we just shouldn't have them.

[–] cayde6ml@lemmygrad.ml 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Unless I'm missing something, I don't see why there has to be a dichotomy. In a communist world, no reason we couldn't fairly compensate workers and manage the environment for growing bananas.

That's what the bananas want you to think. But they're working with the dolphins and elephants to bring us all down.

[–] cayde6ml@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So wouldn't it be better to eat them then? lmao

[–] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 year ago

We're left with no other choice!

Or start a local greenhouse to grow communal bananas.

[–] cayde6ml@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 1 year ago

Or you can combine bananas and blueberries to create penis.

That’s literally the pop-history definition here why the gdr failed because of muh bananas, jeans and coffee.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How long does something have to exist before it's not considered a failure? Or is everything a failure and always was if it collapsed eventually?

Only socialism. Anything else isn't.

It’s the history written by the labor aristocrats and petite bourgeoisie who thought they’d make out better under capitalism than socialism. It ignores the many millions of working class individuals who suffered and died and who would gladly take security and safety over fucking oranges. But we never hear their stories in the west. We only hear from businessmen, journalists, academics etc who decry β€œno oranges” and ignore the suffering of the masses.
