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
- For articles behind paywalls, try to include the text in the post
- Mark all posts containing NSFW images as NSFW (including things like Nazi imagery)

I've thought about this issue before too. The way I see it is that the ruling class produces propaganda to justify standing on the backs of their fellow humans. Then the next generation absorbs this propaganda as if it were, at least in part, fact. They then develop more propaganda based on the old propaganda. This continues on and on as the empire grows. Then, when the empire begins to decline, they keep acting based on the propaganda that has been stuffed into every weak point to shore it up. Except now the propaganda is far out of alignment with the material conditions because they've changed. So their perspectives are out of alignment with reality. They are making what appear to them to be rational decisions based on their highly propagandized perspectives. They continue to rationally respond as their conditions demand, but what they think is rational is actually a manufactured fiction. I hope I was able to explain this well enough.
