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)

Extremely important: teach them the word "tankie". Once they start using it the exact same way "leftists" use it the "leftists" will literally shit themselves, cry, and then be forced to spend a few years inventing a new word for anyone they find insufferable.
Once they invent another word, we can teach that to the right too. Rinse and repeat and the "leftists" and right will be too busy fighting each other to fight us.
Edit: /s
Dumb idea from a closed minded person Also, the fight has to occur between the workers class and the capitalists class. E'se you're just a tool of capitalism
Idk why you're down voted, I think you're right. Also aren't tankies part of the left, leftist infighting aside?
Edit: To clarify, giving them a word that makes leftist infighting seem silly seems, pointless. The only people on the left I know of that use the word tankie literally don't even try to understand the other side. It's not taking a word away from them that's going to stop it. It's by approaching every conversation with humility, and explaining them the theory they so clearly lack. If even so they think you're wrong (and bring arguments, ofc), and you can't defend using theory, then maybe they're right? I don't understand, isn't this the point of the whole reading part everyone agrees we should do?
IK, I just thought it'd be funny and was making a joke. I'll put /s, sorry 'bout that.
Well, I may not have grasp the tone of your comment and/or understood it fully so could be on me. What does /s mean?
It's a "sarcasm" symbol, but it basically boils down to "just joking around". Spanish speakers also use (?) For the same purpose
