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.
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.
Rules:
- No bigotry, anti-communism, pro-imperialism or ultra-leftism (anti-AES)
- We support indigenous liberation as the primary contradiction in settler colonies like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel
- If you post an archived link (excluding archive.org), include the URL of the original article as well
- Unless it's an obvious shitpost, include relevant sources
- For articles behind paywalls, try to include the text in the post
- Mark all posts containing NSFW images as NSFW (including things like Nazi imagery)

MODERATORS
Ever since I was younger, like before I was even radicalized, I've hated ads so much. There's something very off-putting (and often insulting) about businesses constantly blasting you with their product or service.
I used to really enjoy watching the NBA but now every time I try it's just "Here are the Lexus™ Keys to the Game," "Welcome to the half time show brought to you by Subway™," ad breaks every two minutes of game time (and even more frequently towards the end of a close game), giant company logos on the court, or more recently logos on their god damned jerseys. It's like you can't watch any live event any more without having ads shoved in your face.
Even when I'm watching/listening to something on my phone and an ad interrupts I will straight up mute the volume and physically look away just so I don't see the ad. I agree with Yogthos that it feels like a "constant psychological assault." I fucking hate it. Bless whoever invented ad block extensions on browsers because without them I would go insane.
