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)

This analysis makes a lot of sense to me, well said.
I'm gonna take a guess the stray downvote to your analysis is some European taking offense and to that I say, obviously this sort of thing doesn't apply to every one at all times as individuals. As I see it, it's a broad take on material conditions and how those influence people as a whole, not a condemnation of every European individual. But I don't speak for you obviously.
This is why we disabled them on hex. That way you actually have to voice your disagreement.
I like that. Downvotes have always tended to bother me in places that have them, partly because no matter what anyone tries to say about how to use them (like reddit subs that say "it's not a disagree button"), they still seem to get used as basically passive-aggression rather than openly confronting an issue. On top of that, they can cause a person to feel rejected, but be clueless as to why, which ends up being confusing instead of lending clarity as to why their comment got such a reaction. Of course in life sometimes people disagree and it won't always be resolved to satisfaction, but downvotes don't seem to bring anyone closer to understanding each other. Upvotes are vague in their own way and I'm not sure how useful they are either, but at least they don't hide disagreements or frustration behind a (usually anonymous) button.
ya like i said theres exceptions to everything. But when you have a centuries old societal tradition of colonialism that gets engrained into the culture. Its not like genetic. Its the conditions they exist in. It takes a lot of effort, and usually luck to not fall into that reactionary mindset when your born into those conditions.
