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)

Nazis: fascist capitalist dictatorship characterized by extreme prejudice and anti-labour
Communists: socialist proletarian rule characterized by equality and pro-labour
You, a very smart person with a very big brain: Nazis and Communists are literally the same!
Shame you weren't in the gulag.
I'm in the part of Losurdo's Stalin book where he's comparing gulags to US and Nazi concentration camps. The US south for example had death rates of over 50% year after year after it was instituted, in peacetime, for nearly all black inmates. Nazis had similar rates for jews and leftists. Gulags, nowhere even close, except during the food shortages during ww2.
Basically outside of the high death rates, the biggest difference was the reason for imprisonment and path to rehabilitation. In the gulags, prisoners were almost all petty criminals and white soldiers, with all of them being seen as potential future comrades, and usually released after a short time. The nazis and US are racial supremacist states that stack their prisons full of specific ethnic groups and undesirables, with no possibility of rehabilitation, and where you are worked to death and replaced by more.
