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.
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)

I guess how I kinda see it is: act like it's possible to overcome and organize for it, but also spend some time and energy thinking about what to do if things get even worse and what kind of options are going to be available. Kinda like how sovereign nations spend time on building and improving things, but also spend time on defensive and offensive tools, protocols, and training, and what they do if directly attacked. I don't think we need to have faith that things will work out, but we do need to have enough belief in the possibility that we're willing to try. One of the important factors here, I think, is keeping "quantitative changes lead to qualitative" in view. Broadly, it can be easy to look at the big picture, not see the desired progress, and adopt a demoralized view. But every bit of progress is changing something, which can lead to other changes, and we need to know better what is going on in the details so that we can move those details further along. Otherwise, we can wind up more as spectators, as in the "weeks where decades happen" feel where the shift to qualitative takes us by surprise.
Well said.
