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)

Russians look European, speak an European language and have a culture that's immensely inspired by that of other European countries. There's not really anything "Asian" about them.
That is if we're talking Russians as an ethnicity. The terms are conflated in English, but no so much in Russian.
Yes, I'm aware that there are two words in the Russian language that are both simply translated into English as "Russian": the one for ethnicity and the one for citizenship. I didn't feel the need to point it out since most people think only of the former.
Fair enough. I felt the need to mention it to highlight the absurdity of separation. Asian, "white". Which am I? Apparently depends on time of the day
