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)

I met a woman at the grocery store who wanted to chat. She justified me being out of a job as "ohh you'll find another you're a workaholic like me" and paraphrasing "not like all those lazy Poor's ".
I told her I believe that most are doing the best they can and that we should help those in need if we have the ability too.
She tells me I should read this book "the power of positive thinking" (obviously it's about gas lighting yourself). I told her I prefer to feel my anger about what's wrong and direct it in the direction it needs to go to make real change.
She then proceeds to talk about people less fortunate that she has helped. People who can't care for themselves, her kids who don't make enough money to pay bills.....
Point is:
It's interesting hearing the contradictions someone has to make to justify the world we live in.. Well, to see it in the wild anyway.
I don't know how likely it is that we can change someone like that's perspective, but at least folks around us heard the one who is angry is also the positive one and makes good points. Thought I would share some organic praxis I engaged in today
Best of luck out there
