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)

How the hell it's even "more tech based than Lenin's model"? Lenin was great advocate of technological progress and tried to build and draw to party every even semi eligible technical personnel he could find, he just had to work with completely backwards country where technical education was solely in the hands of bourgeoisie.
"Lenin's model" moved from semi-feudalism to spaceflight in 40 years, despite 3 huge destructive wars no less.
Lenin: "Communism = Soviet Power + Electrification of the Whole Country"
Western propaganda: "Lenin was against technology!"
I think they are silly enough to not realize that high tech 100 years ago is not what is high tech now. If you truly abandon materialism this does make sense.
This also reminds me of the popular 90's liberal mantra about "knowledge based economy" (used to justify deindustrialisation), as if the economy wasn't ALWAYS based on knowldge ever since people learned how to make fire and tools.
