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.

Welcome again, everyone! Make yourself at home. In the time-honoured tradition of our group, here is our weekly discussion thread!
We have a Matrix homeserver, where I am your ~~overlord~~ friendly server admin :), at genzedong.xyz. See this thread for information about our Matrix space.

In light of Makan CPUSA finally getting banned, I've come to realize that his posts would on average gain the most traction out of anyone here.
Particularly the ones about videogames.
Are we all just secretly gamers? Terrifying prospect.
I don’t know about all of us being full on gamers, but it seems most of us at least play some video games.
why did he get banned?
Official ban reasoning says it was because of comments he made in the matrix server. His recent post appeared to spark a discussion about the CPUSA which didn't go down very well, I assume it had something to do with that.
They where uncivil in a discussion about CPUSA, then through around insults and accusations without evidence in the Lemmygrad matrix channel
Is there a lemmygrad specific matrix server? I never saw him in the genzedong one.
Yes there is a lemmygrad spefic one, its less popular than the GZD one but it exists
there's no separate server (AFAIK), but there is a room at
#internationale:matrix.orgThat is what I ment
👌
His baseless assertions remind me of when he declared ResearchGate ‘alt‐right’, and when I asked for evidence all that he told me was ‘I was there a few times and saw their bad takes.’
Why the fuck would an alt‐right website of all things host a black researcher’s report on Fascist Italy’s mustard gas attacks on Ethiopians? That’s utterly mindless. It pissed me off because I wanted to tell people about a serious subject and the first comment that I got was an ‘I don’t like this source’ comment (and a poorly substantiated one at that). I thought, ‘Fuck, I guess that I can’t link to this one anymore.’
That said, I think that a permanent ban was too long for him.
Judging by the modlog, the ban switched from temporary to permanent after he said some stuff in the lemmygrad matrix room. I have no idea what it was he said, though.
He was throwing a fit and saying he would get hexbear to not federate with us “because he’s on the mod team”
It’s a shame, I think he was a decent poster
Looks like the Hexbear admins said no. Also, no idea where he got the idea that lemmygrad harbors patsuccs.
Also Makan is very sectarian lol, why would he claim that lemmygrad is sectarian like he’s not???
Like I said I wasn’t really worried they would listen to him anyways
Sectarianism is when you allow right and left deviations alongside principled MLs apparently.
As well as attacking admins of lemmygrad using baseless assertions and not proving evidence
Ah yeah he started saying dessalines was a patsoc or some shit right? Which, is that even a thing in europe?
it's definitely a thing in some European countries; self-proclaimed communists who don't think they shouldn't be ashamed of their country's imperialist past
(I believe dessalines is USian, though)
He claimed he promoted LaRouche
It’s no longer a permanent ban
I take it you were looking forward to it?
Not really, just that he's been with us for years and it seemed rather sudden.
I hope someone continues to make those style of posts he made about the video games with discussion questions like that
