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.

good translations require actually checking out every individual word to make sure nothing goes wrong, think about reading "I walked to the ball." You either imagined that as a little round thing or a grand ceremony, that happens in every language, and only gets more confusing the further from your language you go. Not to mention translating culture, translating words that dont have a 1 to 1 with your target language, trying to translate how a society views certain concepts or ideas, and translating a joke is absolutely insane to watch the process of.
