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)

They're not cheap in Europe because of import and export tarrifs along with additional taxes that China and your country collect. The cars are relatively cheap for Chinese consumers.
Gotta fly to China buy an EV and drive back home ๐
Mfw I pay $10,000-$20,000 in shipping and the custom agent at the border asks me where my tax papers are.
All that is true, it's just funny that the reality stands in stark contrast to European politicians (who must also know that) claiming that cheap Chinese EVs are going to outcompete European EVs in Europe.
