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)

The thing I wonder about is what that would look like. Who would take control of the 4000ish nuclear weapons and the 800+ bases around the globe? It wouldn't really be good for anyone if the US military was decapitated, and split into various factions or whatever else might happen from that point on.
I really don't know how that can work in anyone's favor without a nuke or two being used somewhere.
It's an interesting scenario. Would it lead to a withdrawal of forces back to the homeland to prosecute the war for either side? Or would it lead to petty warlordism both in and outside of the US?
Obviously I don't want the people of the US to suffer in a horrific civil war like has happened to so many countries the US has meddled in, and a destabilized US is probably more visibly dangerous than one that suffers a slow relative decline into multipolarity.
