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.

I'd trust their national statistics more than I'd trust our governments, have you seen ours lately?

The DPRK could put out any set of numbers and would be accused of fudging them before anyone even looked at them.

It's not even just lately. The Black Book of Communism shows the extreme lengths you can distort numbers and still be trusted as reputable by the average westerner.

Somehow after covid, bird flu, "job creation" statistics, the US's reporting is not worthy of instantaneous distrust like NK's.
