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.

See this GitHub page for a collection of sources about socialism, imperialism, and other relevant topics.

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.

Well thank you for being here too 🫡

I used to work several physical demanding jobs, from a steel factory to carpentry to a warehouse dragging beer kegs for 12 hours a day but I have never been as fatigued as my current office job. That is not to say that office work is harder than back breaking work but I do feel like the toll it takes on your psyche and body gets underestimated a lot.

Working on an assembly line or fast food restaurant, I’d punch out and not give work another thought until I punched in. Working in the software industry, it’s seldom fully gone from my mind, even on the weekend.

Mood. I've worked warehouse shipping and receiving, car part assembly lines, food service, retail, computer/phone repair and help desk, IT support. None of these jobs bled into my personal life the way working software in the tech industry has. I'm cooked.
