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.

I was doing some recon on Reddit, some redditcon if you will, and I made a funny little discovery about right wing subs: They're controlled opposition. r/conservative and r/conspiracy suddenly go full Liberal whenever the topic is about Ukraine or Putin, or at least the only comments getting upvoted are libs who regurgitate the approved narrative at you. I was a little surprised, you'd think crazy tradcons wouldn't let themselves be compromised in such a way, but you'd be wrong. Once the Feds running reddit pick a trajectory, you fall in line or you disappear.

No wonder they spend so much time talking about vaccines and making stupid memes. They aren't anymore allowed to be critical of the establishment than we are.
