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.

not saying you or anybody else here is doing it, but seeing even the self-identified "leftist" yankees scream blue murder over this is so funny lol. The people who live there have been destroying ancient cultural heritage sites longer than any of us here have been alive but sure, let's weep blood over a ballroom that's not even 100 years old getting bulldozed to build another, fancier ballroom.

Death to America except for the tacky ballroom or something. Never mind that yanqui settlers bulldozed the mounds of cahokia or drowned Celilo Falls, the oldest continuously inhabited location in north america, for funsie.

Or that the guys who lived in that ugly, glorified plantation house carved their faces into a sacred mountain (overseen by a KKK member no less). For fun.

I don't even think it's a "fancier ballroom". Most likely just an excuse so they can expand the Fuhrerbunker. 40 billion to Argentina I feel like is going to be a life-line incase the plan they have doesn't work.

Tbh I am against this only because I think the White House should be a museum dedicated to the USA's history of colonialism & imperialism.

The Lincoln Memorial will be a museum for the USA's white supremacy.

The Capitol Building will be dedicated to the USA's history of capitalism.

The Washington Monument will be demolished and the stone used to build a statue of Fred Hampton in its place.

Nah raze it to the ground. Somethings are better forgotten.

Yeah I'd have to agree. It's the same logic as the argument that plantations should be preserved for history. They were the Mcmansions of their era and ugly af anyways and if the ancestors of the people enslaved there want it destroyed, we can take pictures of it and put THAT in a museum.

Especially now with the advances in 3D-prininting, digitization, simulation, and modelling we dont really need to sanctify purely ideological structures with little utilitarian use.
