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)

The Europeans too like to pride themselves of their trains; which, granted, are faster than in the US individually, but in order to get from Rome to Berlin, you have to change trains at least three times and sleep at a station so it also takes 20 hours
European trains are also nightmarishly overpriced. I would like to use them more often but i haven't been able to afford to take the train ever since i finished university and lost my reduced price ticket. It's absurd how expensive it is and for what is quite a mediocre service compared to what you see in East Asia.
30min train ride in switzerland cost me 60-70 franken, its insane as a foreigner. i believe it was a day ticket, but still
Not only for foreigners. I needed an annual ticket only for a specific stretch to go to university, but there's no such option. Instead, I had to pay a ticket for travelling the entire canton.
Yes, but for foreigners it's even more expensive due to the currency, while most swiss people that travel by train often have a Halbtax abonnement anyways
