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)

A lot of burgers are locked entirely into mainstream media; or the revolving NGOs masquerading as news agencies revolving around it. With a good chunk of the population entirely subsumed into the narratives presented on prime-time, I think it's really, really hard for anyone "counter-cultural" to either not be coopted or casted out entirely when they don't follow orders.
I mean, look at Greta.
I thought that Greta was moving in the right direction, lately? I get that she is probably still a neoliberal, but I remember thinking she is becoming more radical. The good kind of radical.
You're right about Greta's leanings toward more radicalism. The previous poster's point is that people like Greta are touted by media when they're not radical, but get dropped once they do.
Thus you won't find these excellent leaders by watching mainstream capitalist media.
Having listened to Eugene Puryear of the PSL speak, his ability to connect cross-cultural historical knowledge with today's struggles make him a great one to follow: https://www.instagram.com/pslbayarea/reel/DGPasWHRf_h/
I understand that phenomena. Kind of like how neoliberals fail to mention how radical MLK, Jr. actually was.
Eugene is great!
