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

I've always found the fixation on the negative aspects of USSR really weird, and frankly dishonest. USSR was a product of its conditions, and it's absurd to claim that such problems are somehow inherent in communism. If there is ever a successful communist project in the west, it's necessarily going to be rooted in the culture and material conditions present at the time. Incidentally, this is precisely why China says that their system isn't meant to be copied directly by other countries, it's a product of conditions in China.
Exactly! However if you try to reason being a communist or advocating communism in Poland most will end the conversation with a thought terminating cliche. Here are few:
They completely ignore reality and think within the propaganda they've been taught or have internalized.
Indeed, and this is why the right is now growing rapidly. People become disillusioned with the liberal mainstream and they've internalized rejecting the ideas from the left which leaves the right. It also helps that right wing ideas aren't all that dissimilar from neoliberal ideas making the transition easier. Hence why places like Poland and Hungary are now run by the far right.
yea
