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.

The amount of alleged "Marxists" I've encountered who prefer vibes to materialism, lack basic reading comprehension, and prefer strawmen arguments over responding to what was actually written is really putting my revolutionary optimism to the test. Some comrades out there really need to learn how to process information before reacting to it.

I expect this shit from liberals but we're supposed to be better than this.

I agree. Too often people play with rhetoric or try to point out fallacies, taking "easy victories," rather than engaging with the most charitable reading of their points. It's a consistent problem I see. Same with comrades interacting with other comrades, I don't see it too often but sometimes I see struggle for the sake of struggle, rather than for unity and understanding.

This is why we have to build a vanguard party. Not all the working class can/will/need to understand dialectical materialism.

Vibes based Comrades can be safely kept out of the loop and called in at a moments notice. Your party needs to have a person who can harness vibes and direct those people where needed. That was what Lenin did with trosky.

Can you imagine the headaches involved in managing trostky?

Lenin was stronger than I to tolerate Trotsky ngl
