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)

Ask them why they love war so much. "Finally an American administration is trying to make peace with Russia and this is what you are most upset about?" Whatever the ulterior motive, an end to this proxy war is still a good thing.
And since i live in Europe and have to deal with our own uniquely European brand of deranged, delusional liberals, i usually add: "I wish our own politicians were as interested in peace rather than war. More money for war means less money for your parents' pensions and your children's schools."
Of course we as communists understand the more complex geopolitics at play here. We don't believe that Trump is just doing this because he's some kind of do-gooder peacenik. But there's no need to get into the weeds and start discussing imperial strategy when talking to liberals. They only comprehend the most simplistic of narratives and so you have to keep your responses extremely simple and dumbed down. Nuance is a no-no.
"Peace good, war bad. I don't care about Putin or Trump, i care about stopping the dying. Why do you want people to keep dying?" That is all you need to say to them.
