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.

Irony is, those in need of deprogramming the most are the ones into programming. How is it even possible that people that are supposed to be so intelligent/logical/rational are actually this gullible to state's propaganda that they believe it without a shred of doubt.

take it from a programmer, folks: knowing how to make computer do magic doesnt equate to general intelligence or automatically make one better at unrelated things like politics. computer shit is a skill like any other that just happens to have a (false) connotation of "high intelligence" whatever that means.

sorry fellow nerds, you aint special. read lenin.

Also a code monkey. Programming requires very little intelligence (not that intellugence is even real).

Seconded from a (probably far worse) programmer.

+1 more from a software developer. I'm getting more alienated from my work every day :/

this is the truth and it applies to all fields

I've met a fair share of programmers who think they're a unique gift to the world but could barely tie their own shoelaces figuratively

State and Revolution; Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism; "Left-Wing" Communism: An Infantile Disorder; and What is to be Done? are the texts I see most often recommended.
