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 got banned from there ages ago for some bullshit reasons, I think I upset a mod or something.
They're all about that left unity too which means I've seen comrades less careful than myself banned for taking a swipe at anarchists or ultras.
Honestly, pretty toxic place to just go there and stare are horrible takes from horrible people. My mental health improved a bit when I got banned and stopped browsing it.
Yeah, the problem with a lot of "left unity" is it means that calling someone out on something is "disrupting" that unity and is seen as a personal attack. It's impossible to have a discussion with other types of leftists who refuse to consider positions different from their own, especially when it comes to things like the US or AES. Hexbear's form of left unity, where they have certain baseline facts that must be accepted (AES are valid, US state department propaganda is not a substitute for theory etc.) works quite well though, it chases off all the ultras, left-libs and anarkiddies while still allowing people with different leftist tendencies to discuss things reasonably.
"Left unity" in a lot of places just means "I dislike capitalism but also let me rant about communists and AES countries without being called out on my bullshit. "
Not all, but many.
