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)

Why does it sound like that to you?
Genocide wasn't invented by Hitler. It was "industrial" in a sense that technology from the industrial age was used and that it happened on a large geographic area, so it was different in those ways.
Nazis killed millions of Jews and Slavs (and some others). Turks genocided millions of Armenians by forcing them into the desert. Britain starved millions of Indians. England killed millions of Irish. Europeans killed millions of indigenous people in the Americas and millions more in Africa (Belgium is responsible for some 10 million deaths in Congo alone).
Why single one of those out as the worst?
Westerners only single out the Jewish genocide because 😱 they were white! None of the other genocided peoples are white, so it's OK.
