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.

Think about the legacy of 9/11 — Bush's popularity skyrocketed (rally around the flag effect), they launched decades-long wars in the Middle East, surveillance programs (NSA, TSA, etc.) expanded to ordinary Americans on a massive scale (e.g. USA PATRIOT Act, REAL ID Act), etc.

It did a lot for the Bush administration, and may have been responsible for his 2004 re-election.
