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.

Imperialism is the world wide system of the the bourgeoisie crushing sovereignty wherever they can by any means. Colonialism and Neo-colonialism are the system within a single nation that is used to extract wealth and export it to the colonizing nation. Imperialism is the superstructure which Neo-colonialism is built on.

So Iran's 1979 revolution was an anti-colonial conflict. The current war is an anti-imperialist war because Iran is not only fighting to keep themselves from being colonized they are also confronting the structures of power used to crush sovereignty of other nations.
