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.
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)

MODERATORS
They 100% would be making that argument during the time period(ignoring for a minute that the US still has slavery anyway). Heck, they still do, I grew up going to a school where our teachers seriously argued that the slaves were better off as slaves, with a much higher quality of life.
A few highlights I remember were them saying "slaves were usually never beaten because that would affect their ability to work" and "it gave structure to their life". Also "most slave owners were good people who were friends with their slaves".
My teacher said "At least they got food and housing."
The fucking South.
Meanwhile the South dismantles POC's ability to get food and housing.
Just like my boss is family!
Yeah Indiana gives the same education: "Look at this kind slave master! He is letting his slaves have a BBQ!" type of shit. Also remember doing assignments with prompts like "What are the pros and cons of slavery?" as if slavery has pros. As an adult... I wish I weren't such a "good kid".
Indiana also praises indebtured servitude. "Isn't this system great! Makes so much sense, if you owe someone money, you should be their slave for 7 years to pay it off instead of going to prison when you can't pay it back normally."
Holy shit wtf I just learnt so much about the US.
It's so racist here...and there's so many flavors of it...you can't escape it
yeah i seem to recall that as well
unreal
