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.

I always wonder… how many unarmed civilians would it take to overthrow a bourgeois state?

Excluding armed forces, there’s got to be a point where police get trampled and the pure horde forces submission to the socialist state.

You need weapons and military tactics. I don’t recall any government being overthrown by just average untrained joes.

purely theoretical and idealist btw,I'm not that stupid lol. It'd just be funny to see 100 million untrained joes literally trample the bourgeouisie state unarmed.

The greatest weapon is organization.
