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.

Funny story. The first time I read that quote was from Call of Duty 2. I was pretty apolitical and ignorant about history. I didn't have some blanket negative view of Stalin back then so I actually liked the quote. I didn't think it was negative or some evil maniac giggling about how he could kill millions because it was a statistic. I thought he was lamenting the fact that the death of one 'great' figure would be treated as a tragedy and the deaths of millions (his countrymen) would be treated as a statistic. The Georgian poet strikes again.
