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
The vast majority of Americans support its "defence" forces and its interests.
The poll you are replying to literally demonstrates that is not the case when people are exposed to and fully aware of the actions that the US military and its allies engage in. The bourgeoise will always attempt to control the narrative and bend public will, that is the entire point of war propaganda. However, the public can understand the truth behind why this is all happening and see through the lies. Most are ignorant, and simply follow what they are told.
Which is not at all very often at all.
Yes.
Which is precisely the point of war propaganda. That’s why this “empathy” seems jarring and out of place. It was always there; Americans aren’t some sort of bloodthirsty boogeymen and the true beliefs and actions of the bourgeoisie disgust them. But when you have been lied to and told the same lies over the course of your life, that is all you can believe.
Which is precisely the reason we are here. We must never stop explaining, just as Sankara stated.
So there's "beliefs" and "true beliefs". Yet only one of these has real world consequences. It's cold comfort to the millions killed around the world that the perpetrators don't truly believe in what they're doing.
Yes we just never stop explaining, but while our message goes unheeded and unlearned, we must do what we can to protect the victims and condemn the oppressors.
These people have the capacity of free will. They are not shambling automatons waiting for new programming with no autonomy or responsibility. You can choose to characterise the worst atrocities you can think of at people just not having enough information or being manipulated. That does not exonerate them.
