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)

By design, they are priced almost the same as airline tickets, when travelling to different countries. There's a huge economy centered around air travel (air lines, airports, shops inside airports).
When I was living in the UK, a train ticket between London and York would cost me around 50-90 pounds. I found a bus company that would do the trip for the same length of time for only 12 pounds. The bus would take you from York to Loughborough (half the way to London), and then we'd get off, be handed train tickets (included in the 12 pound price) and continue the rest of the journey by train. Proving that the straight-up train ticket was probably twice or triple as expensive as it should have been.
