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.

That goes both ways though. Each side thinking they are right, the main character, impervious to being lied to and definitely on the right side of history. Or can you not also be fooled? Cause I know I have been, by both sides...
The difference between us and liberals is that we not only can admit to being fooled, we also actively seek out whether if we've been fooled.
We realize no one is immune to propaganda and act accordingly. And we mean no one.
Yeah it’s difficult all right, I’m wrong about something at least once per day
I can't speak for all of us, but many of us probably did not come to communism as our first ideology once we became more political aware. Some did maybe, but a lot of us were liberals ourselves. We already came to terms with the fact we were lied to and are open to the possibility that we can and will be lied to again.
Personally, I started as full fledged American democrat before I left the country where I moved to socdem. Started reading theory "to be educated even if I don't agree with it" and...found I agreed with it. A lot.
I have gone through several stages of being lied to and am well aware I am not impervious to it and happy to be corrected when I am wrong.
When you say "both sides" what you mean is "the same con artist wearing a new disguise."
The "both sides" of capitalist, liberal "democracy" both work on behalf of the rich, not the people. That's why you've felt cheated by both, because both will work against you.
Being aware of your own shortcomings is good though, it's always important to question whether you have been fooled or not. That's why us filthy dirty commies practice "self-crit" or "self-criticism" where we examine our ideas and try to challenge them scientifically, similar to peer review. Of course, we could still be wrong, but we can at least manage to be "less wrong" that way.
