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 went out drinking with my friends a few nights ago and some of them said Meloni was based 💀

maybe they were just mispronouncing the fruit

I wish that was the case. It was in the context of Italy's government, and other governments. Apparently Marine LePen is too extreme, and Macron is too left wing, but Meloni is just right.

What kind of world is your friend living in where Macron is "too left wing"?

They live in a predominantly white upper middle class suburb outside of a major city.

They have muh “socialist” healthcare and a couple vacation days. AOC’s always praising them, must be radically leftist.

How bad is french healthcare? I actually no nothing of it

[–] QueerCommie@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I’m not exactly sure. I heard people speak positively when I went to France, and it’s certainly better than that of the US, but I’m guessing neoliberalism has eaten at it a bit.

God damn liberalism lol. Even when I was a lib I was always like "man I wish libs had more teeth"

“man I wish libs had more teeth”

They do but they always bite left.

While this is true, I grew up just after the so-called "end of history" so didn't get the full dose of anti-communist fervor, as the soviet union had just collapsed, and China had not had its meteoric resurgence.

Socialism wasn't really a threat and while there were pockets of uprising in the 90s in the imperial core they were mostly dismissed as anti-white hatred like with the Rodney King riots.

Socialism is once again scratching at popularity over the last decade and so of course the old red scare machine is again firing on all cylinders.
