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)

Bit idea: horiffic dystopian imperialist army but they're cutting corners everywhere, like instead of having prosthetic super soldiers they just cut their feet and replace them with wooden pegs
Imperial Guard and Navy in warhammer 40k do that sometimes. Higher ups and nobles may get proper bionics, but rank and file? Shit outta luck
Also happens in Starship Troopers. All the veterans are missing limbs and are confined to wheelchairs, crutches, arm slings; as prosthetics are all but unheard of because they are perversely proud and happy to have gotten their disfigurements and disabilities.
Yeah. Class is still a thing.
I think you should replace whichever comma is between "are confined to" and "are all but unheard of" with a full stop (or maybe semicolon?)
Good idea.
Star Wars also has physically disabled people that can't afford prosthetics or upgrades.
Sounds like real life, tbh.
That's because we do live in a dystopian post-apocalyptic cyberpunk future. Those pretty neon and rain pictures you've seen in cyberpunk themed media? That was advertising, same as pictures of USian suburbs in the 50's
Yeah, but USian suburbs are still a thing and they stink...
Exactly. They aren't the neat little houses with white picket fences and smiling neighbours. That's just the advertising - like in Back to the Future
Yeah, trust me, I live in one lol
