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 don't think Putin particularly cares about it, but he's not all-powerful. I don't know about the government in general, but they're certainly helping in the anti-imperialist struggle in many ways (helping Syria, trading with socialist or otherwise anti-imperialist countries, etc.), no matter what their intentions are.
I haven't watched the video yet, but AFAIK, the creator believes that China is imperialist, so I'm not too sure what to think about him.
Not sure what to think about him either. I've watched a couple of his videos at the beginning of the war, a livestream or two with the Deprogram guys and see comrades recommend him quite often, so I thought he was pretty decent. But this video combined with the China takes really brought out the Maoist leanings of his and...yeah, controversial at least.
But imo MLs online really haven't bothered wrestling with this conflict on a theoretical basis too much. I've seen almost no deeper analysis and even the big Youtubers like Hakim have hardly touched on it. Day to day analysis of the events and consequences is almost non-existent too, so I reckon some controversial takes about it ain't too bad to discuss about honestly.
Yeah, most of the analyses I've seen on this war have come from people who aren't explicitly communists
It's been a while since my last plug, so I'll recommend The New Atlas
