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.

What a cool little piece of tech, too bad it looks very uncomfortable. The best part about this whole mouse are the very open and detailed schematics included with it. My Unitra Hit record player also has such a detailed schematic and it allowed me to troubleshoot it after I bought it and make it work. I love that a practice like that was standard during socialism and hate that capitalism purposefully obscures how technology works but also how it makes terrible build quality normal. That mouse despite shite ergonomics looked like a tank.

As some comments referred, the Soviets over-engineered things, to make sure they would last forever. Which is the opposite of planned obsolescence. Also, in the 80's ergonomics were non-existent so don't expect much in that regard.

I know. My father owns a pair of CCCP binoculars and they are fucking amazing.
