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.

A good term for this, that Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, and Sakai uses (i think), is Settler Garrison. Northern Ireland, the US western frontier, Israel, are some examples.

These are the advance troops of colonialism, using terrorist methods to bully, kill, steal, and wipe out indigenous peoples. Occasionally they even have conflicts with the colonial powers on the methods / best ways to do it. The US revolutionary war was essentially a disagreement between Britain's settler garrison, and Britain trying to put a leash on their westward expansion.
