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)

Saw a reel (TikTok? Shortform video?) about a Guy that was larping as a NEET in a tropical country.
And one comment really summed up my thoughts: go back home and get a job lmao.
Why do these people celebrate being leeches to society and seemingly aren't self-aware?
They get our scientists and engineers meanwhile we get this.
They're not sending us their best folks
Because a person's goal in a capitalist system is to do nothing while getting everything. To ascend from the exploited to the exploiter. It's wrapped in rosy language such as "passive income", but that's what it is. If a person can be a neet outside their parents' basement (which seems to be the case in what you describe), one must ask where's the money coming from
I am a “neet” because of a severe mental disorder I have. I'm going to depend on the welfare system my whole life. In this situation, you are no different from a Nazi. You want people like us to die? That’s literally social darwinism which is Nazi ideology. Your comment is inhumane, as are you and all the privileged people who approve of it.
I think you're making a huge assumption here. The context was people who choose to move to a different country to live off of "passive income", not people who are unable to work. Don't jump straight to calling someone "no different from a Nazi" without verifying their intentions
It was clear what they had in mind with the basement comment. Good old lazy neckbeard stereotype...
maybe there is some prejudice involved in the basement comment (I can't speak for Shrike in that regard), but there's a big difference between that and comparing someone to a Nazi
We want the government to provide ample services so everyone, you included, can live in dignity.
We don't like seeing otherwise productive people exploit poor and marginalized folks to get there. I think we can appreciate the difference in quality there
