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.

It wasn't problematic for Aryan-like white people to have a monarchy. Just the orcs, the dwarfs etc. who all happened to come from the barbaric east.

Remember how every Elf who did evil things was explicitly stated to be "dark" somehow? Whether it was hair, skin or just their "general look"?
