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 agree completely the kind of society that is capable of executing 4 million people is not one I would want to live in. And that's not just because of the sacredness of human life but also because to do so there would need to be institutions set up to perform executions on a mass scale and institutions perpetuate themselves. Eventually we would be executing people just because
Retributive justice doesn't help anyone there is no amount of punishment we can do that will undo what they did we could build a machine to torture them forever and their victims families still would be missing the mothers, fathers, sons and daughters they took
This is a good point I hadn't even though of yet! I'll add it to my quiver.
