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.

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.
