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

Disappointing cause Shea had some good anti-imperialist articles.
I made the post more clear, sorry for being scatterbrained, writing here in between working.
Shea came into the scene as an awkward, sometimes misguided person who was open, overly trusting, and constantly trying to improve.
Then last year he started making content that was completely intellectually dishonest, specifically his attempts to misconstrue PSL positions by deliberately excerpting Brian Becker's content without context that was immediately adjacent. It was perfectly transparent to anyone who already engaged with Becker's content, but was sufficiently obfuscated and confusing to people who didn't listen to his podcast weekly. That was the end of Shea for me. He was either turned, or he was a plant from the beginning.
Thanks for this explanation! I mostly read some of his articles via links from GenZhou and other explainer posts. Most patsocs are clowns at the first glance, so this one took my by surprise.
Shea always rubbed me the wrong way, but I chalked that up to my biases based on his vocal style. He got a lot of social proof from podcast hosts that I trusted, and I figured they were in the trenches with him so they had a better perspective on his position than I did, so I repressed my discomfort as "just feelings". Last year all those feelings came flooding back when I read his article about the PSL (I'm not a member, but I have been consuming their content a lot and feel I have a pretty good understanding of their position, and what Rainer was writing didn't withstand even cursory investigation).
I try not to be ageist but damn.
What do you mean?
Shea looks like a kid to me.
He looks like shaggy from Scooby Doo, especially with the green shirt.
