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.

In 2010, 62% of Ukrainians said life was worse now than in the USSR and only 12% said it was better (1). In 2013, 56% believed the breakup of the USSR was bad for Ukraine and only 23% thought it was good (2).

This is underselling it. At its peak, post-Soviet Ukraine was the surrogacy capitol of Europe, but now it's not "merely" women's wombs but the women themselves are for sale as Ukrainian women are being trafficked at easily one of the highest rates ever (though a lot of it is refugees who are outside of Ukraine). I don't know if it's higher or lower than Ukraine ca. 1993.

Neoliberal hegemony and shock therapy have caused more suffering than anticommunists can pretend the Soviets did.

The comprador class is so dangerous. What did the average Ukrainian get out of this except for misery? It's sad af.
