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)

All Marxists should analyze and understand what this paragraph means, especially the part I placed in bold:
I think this means that there is no universal socialism button that can be pushed by any single country alone that will magically solve the problem of transitioning from capitalism to socialism. Marxists in every country must not wait for handouts, because theory is free but practice requires hard work and sacrifice.
Radicalized proletariet have the duty to persue socialism from the ground up, not from above to below.
Exactly this. If the impetus doesn't come from within, the change won't last. Imposing change on another group will only ever make temporary change.
That has always been China's position regarding exporting ideology. They've generally been of the mind that every state needs to come to their own revolution. It's a reason they are always so explicit about "Socialism with Chinese characteristics".
While part of me does selfishly wish there were states a bit more proactive about facilitating socialism, the position makes absolute sense. If we look at the AES states today, none of them have exactly the same structures in place. I don't think Chinese socialism would work in Cuba, or Cuban socialism in Vietnam.
I organise as well as I am able to help bring about "socialism with Japanese characteristics", and hopefully we get there someday. I believe all states will, if not necessarily in our own lifetimes.
