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.

ADHD symptoms are well proven to be treatable in most cases by proper medication. They also help children with ADHD have their brain develop to be far closer to a neurotypical brain, causing a cessation in distressing ADHD symptoms in adulthood sometimes allowing them to be able to come off medication entirely.

ADHD medication, prescribed properly and titrated onto under guidance of a specialist doctor also is not addictive and easily weaned off of.

ADHD is a disability under capitalism, and even under socialism can cause massive issues and certainly can be disabling even under a fairer economic system. We will need to move to a much more accommodating system of work that might still only get an unmedicated person with ADHD up to like 80% as efficient over long stretches of time (short term analysis is pointless because most people with ADHD can completely outperform neurotypical people while a task is novel and interesting to them). It is a tiring neurotype to have as you desperately want constant stimulation and newness that is just impractical to provide in most cases. Not to mention its higher likelihood of co-occurence with Autism that also makes the person crave structure and routine as well as novelty in the right doses, which just throws a big spanner in the works for accommodating them.

I guess I didn't elaborate far enough in terms of what I meant, but thanks for the explanation.
