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.

Is it just me or is the navy always a hotbed of rebellion for some reason? HNLMS De Zeven Provinciën, the German navy mutinies at the end of ww1, hell even Krondstadt (although I hold pess respect for the latter for obvious reasons) amongst others. Idk, i feel like i hear about it often enough so it's starting to intrigue me

Mentioned famous mutinies and didn't even talk about the Potemkin smh.

But seriously, it makes sense when you consider the conditions sailors are often in: stuck on wood/steel boxes in the middle of nowhere for weeks to months to even years at a time with nothing but ocean for miles around. Humans are land creatures and it's where we belong; we'll never really get used to life at sea or in space or wherever - we just learn how to tolerate it and only up to a certain point.

It makes sense that mutinies at sea are fairly common throughout history.
