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
I am fairly certain Marxists.org is run by trotskyites, unfortunately.
Evidence dump
Note how Trotsky is presented here.Compare it to how they present Stalin.
In their Library, here are but a few examples of them using "Stalinist" this same way.
Everybody's favorite anti-Stalinist hero...
They offer such an invaluable service. They are also, unfortunately, insufferable.
library on prolewiki will replace them one day!
(yes this is hopium)
Their line on Hungary 1956 is very wack and full of empire lies
Pièce de résistance, here they are not only being obnoxious Trotsky stans, but also racist.
Racism goes with the Troskyite territory. Take this, for example, from Trotsky's "If America Should Go Communist" (1934):

I don't quite feel like subjecting myself to the text itself (I'm on a workbreak, I'll probably remember later and source it), but I'm almost certain Trotsky thought Afrikan-Amerikans spoke a different language lol.
IIRC he was asked if black Amerikans constituted their own nation and deserved support in their self-determination thereof.
Ah, nevermind. Here we are. Top ten Trotsky quote.
Fair enough for a Soviet politician not to know every facet of Amerikan race issues, I suppose. Still... I can't deny how silly this is, and knowing this little probably should have prevented him from speaking on the issue at all.
That is a wild read of Lukacs lol
Their web design is the first thing that tipped me off.
Damn, didn’t realize Khrushchev was a dirty Stalinist./s
I guess Stalin's corpse was responsible for the crushing of the Hungarian revolt. Khruschev was a good little anti-Stalinist, the bravest of the USSR's leadership in fact!
It just makes me trust it less knowing that they’re editing stuff like this without making it clear they’re doing this to people who are looking for a Marxist text and stumble across a copy there.
mfw you're so anti-dogmatic you literally just edit the parts of history and theory you don't like out
how stalinist of them
it's really weird how Trotskyists will complain about the USSR not being liberal enough. Secret police was one of Trotsky's ideas
Trotsky was a lot of things he was not liberal
Trotsky sought to organize the proletariat along military lines. Trotsky gave the order to crush the Kronstadt rebellion.
His "anti-Stalinism" makes him a romantic lil anti-authoritarian bean in the eyes of imperial "communists", though.
