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

I dont really understand why Marxism is so stagnant tbh.
I mean...look, i know I'm "different." But...what else is there? Do people really want another flavour of liberalism or nationalism or whatever? I'm not saying one day i suddenly became a fully fledged ideologically consistent socialist, obviously.
What i mean is just look at the UK. The country is going to shit, and the best there is the greens? I don't understand how you can go through 20 years of this and then go "well obviously we just need a different type of capitalism."
It's not easy, I get that, but i mean in that case you'd think you'd get more Eurocommunists than anything.
But even looking at the global south. The fact that places like Indonesia and Thailand literally don't have communist parties anymore, or how Argentina is constantly falling down rapidly and people are still worried about Peronists vs Millei-ists. There's an answer right there, outside of all of that.
This isn't some criticism of people. I just thought Marxism was easy to understand, and sometimes i wonder if maybe its not. Idk. This isn't doom posting either. I think I'll just invent a time machine to kill Friedrich Ebert and Albert Noske. That should fix things
There are a lot of factors that go into the lack of traction for Marxist ideals.
Propaganda is one thing, fear that trying to upset the status quo could backfire, just pessimism about the feasibility of another system, and it doesn't help that Marxists are often bad at explaining our positions by using too much jargon.
I think it’s good to keep in mind that a lot of communists were purged. I mean look at Jakarta in the 60s, Nazi Germany, all the military dictatorships of LatAm.
