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.

mfw cuba is magnitudes poorer than its neighbour, the USA but can provide housing and healthcare for everyone in it, and even a surplus of 50k doctors they export to the third world on demand.

They also provide food for everyone. There are government "stores" where citizens receive their weekly allotment of eggs, produce, dairy, flour, and occasionally meat. Certain things can only be bought but there's a standard that everyone has access to something even when some foods can be scarce.

The embargo is mostly detrimental to Cuba, but it also protects Cuba from certain American innovations.
