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.

Do you have any books published on Cuba’s systems that you would recommend (English or Spanish)?

Not a book but here's some sources I used when writing about it previously:

Seara Rey, Kian. “Rosa Hernández Acosta on the Cuban Literacy Campaign.” JSTOR Daily, (2021). https://daily.jstor.org/rosa-hernandez-acosta-on-the-cuban-literacy-campaign/

(This first one is especially interesting as it's an interview with someone who taught during the literacy campaign)
