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)

I did a test by a newspaper to see if you are left or right wing and lo and behold I am a left wing progressive
This is a complete blindside. Your politics have always been an enigma and you’ve left many baffled with where you lie on the spectrum. Especially with the suspicion right wing post yesterday…. Hmm
Well the weird thing is: afterwards the quiz showed how other voters of specific parties ended up on the political compass. Most of the voters from our party were economically and social-culturally left of course, but there were also quite a few who were economically and social-culturally right wing. Which doesn't make sense at all. Why vote for a marxist party? Lol.
I could actually believe that.
For the socially right wing people, we’ve seen them on the grad constantly. They’re the people who might be full marxists, but then despise LGBT people because they’re devout Muslims or Christians, or they were raised in an environment with those ideals and never shook them. Or they’re the people that are so extremely anti-racist that they end up becoming racist themselves. Or people that want socialism but only for chauvinist and protectionist reasons while hating foreigners.
For the economic right wing, I blame that on the right having good optics with their “bootstraps”, “individual freedom” and other such slogans that entice people on the surface. Or they know nothing about economics and they choose right wing options because they simply sound good despite being disastrous.
