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)

and those precious cargo trains derail on average over a thousand times per year because short term profits trump all else in the imperial core
Do you realize what derailment means? It’s a safety term that occurs when even a single wheel loses contact with the rails. That can happen because of a strong wind or some minor debris on the track. Then they have to stop the train, examine for damage and realign the wheel which takes less then 30 minutes. Do you think trains are just flying off the rails and exploding every 3 hours?
But yes, corporate control of freight transport is a blight, and of course it will lead to reduced safety standards and other cost cutting measures.
