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)

There is, you get a pass for being born into it. If you actually are delusional enough to convert into it, then I don't think you were Materialist in the first place.
Is there something about Islam that sets it apart from other faiths?
Is there something about religion that prevents materialist understandings of political-economy?
"Is there something about Islam that sets it apart from other faiths?" There is some nuance but still pretty much the same as the rest of the mainstream. That is why people get a pass when they are born into it.
You can believe anything in politics or economics, it is just really weird that you find yourself believing in non-material entities when you claim to be a Marxist.
Does Marxism seek to explain the cosmos, or just human civilization?
Newton was Christian and Einstein was Jewish, did their faiths prevent them from studying the world scientifically? No.
