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)

So true! Western "freedom" my arse!! Life is so much better in Russ...oh, wait, maybe not at the moment. China! Oh, wait, no, that's not a good example either. OK, North Kor...what? Oh, right. Not them then.
Er... need a bit of help here guys. What's a shining example of communism that'll make us Westerners wish they were living under that instead of our current hideous regimes?
Three things:
Russia isn't communist. I don't know why I have to remind libs of this fucking constantly, it's infuriating. You remember in 1991 or so when the Soviet Union fell? Yeah, Russia hasn't been communist since then.
The DPRK is how it is because of the actions of the western world, especially the US. The DPRK has tried to open itself up to trade and immigration and has been stopped from doing so by the western world, especially the US. That being said, life there is fine. It's just a normal country that's suffering a bit because it has not been allowed to trade freely with the rest of the world. Maybe watch the Boy Boy video where they go to the DPRK to get haircuts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BO83Ig-E8E
What exactly is your issue with China? Can you please explain what you're actually getting at here? Lots of other people have brought forth some pretty decent evidence that life in China isn't as bad as a western lib thinks, but I am curious about your thoughts and feelings on the matter. What is your issue with China? Why would you not want to live there?
With many redditor types, it's down to their white/moral superiority + saviour complex. Even if they know it might not be true, they will grasp onto the thought that "liberal democracies" are the best system until the end of history. Just the thought of another country with a different system, and not subservient to the enlightened/civilised west is rising to challenge them is a triggering point for them.
For the sexpat types that you see on Youtube making a living with the anti-PRC grift, they're no longer worshipped as "superior people" even if they were to visit again so of course they will harbour hatred against them lol.
