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)

Oh yeah, I wasn't very clear. I would imagine China has a lot fewer of the insufferable "I don't like to talk about politics" people than the west, I meant more in a sense of "the government's doing a good job, so I don't really care about their ideology as long as they're doing well." I think this probably a "no investigation, no right to speak" thing for me though, I'm only going off of second and third hand accounts from people, and I imagine somewhere like Shanghai has a very different attitude in general to somewhere like rural Yunnan.
Though if China's government was actually capitalist, we would see the same eroding of social programs and people's QOL we see under all capitalist goverments, not constant improvement, so the argument falls apart on that merit as well.
Shanghai does. They have a reputation (at least online) for being full of libs.
