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 don't really get the point of "critical" in critical support. It implies theres such a thing as "uncritical" support. When would that ever be a thing? As a marxist you're always being critical. If you're critical to the point you don't support the government, then you're not doing critical support. If you support something to the point you aren't critical, you're not doing marxism.

Russia needs critical support because they are simply not marxist or any other flavour of leftism and therefore every pro-russia stance will be followed with that they need to fundamentally change.

This is different from, say, vietnam or china where we would criticise their approach to communism, but more in a friendly way towards comrades so that they can do better.

I think of it that it is critical that we support Iran and Russia no matter their politics and laws as long as they stay anti-imperialist whereas our support for China is a given because they are comrades.
