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)

Because the authoritarian CCP repressed all the poor people into becoming middle class people.
It's absolutely terrible to watch how they just keep raising the standard of living all the time tricking people into thinking that's a good thing!
What I have seen from 10 years living there:
A big chunk of the dirt poor got to send their kids to university and secure real assets for their families while working an honest job.
The kind of job that pays for fuck all barely a life in the west.
Of course at the same time the rich got even richer. The crazy rich kind of stayed where they are.
Sadly there are still a lot of dirt poor families in China but within ten years the transformation has been breath taking. And these families now have a real chance.
Alleviating poverty is revisionism and social imperialism.
