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)

I mean, even a geniune bourgeois revolution would be progressive in KSA. But considering the relationship of KSA with the US, i can't see the US financing a color revolution here, that would put their interests in jeopardy since the KSA and all the gulf monarchies are good clients of the MIC and an integral part of the dollar system.
The problem with petty bourgeois activism of this kind is that it is almost always entirely ineffectual unless it receives real material and organizational support from the outside, i.e. as in the case of the archetypical color revolution playbook, with entire NGO networks and tons of cash to pay people to go and stay in the streets for days and days (most people need to work and can't afford to do this unless someone pays them), pay for professionally printed banners and signs, etc.
Even online activism needs a certain amount of material support to produce professional propaganda designed to maximize psychological impact, pay for bot networks to distribute it and so on.
Without that kind of support this is just virtue signaling that inevitably fizzles out because there are no resources or organization behind it.
Well they claim to have members among the security institutions so we'll see if it's just a bluff or not in the coming months.
Probably a bluff, I don't imagine someone like gaddafi in the saudi officer class but that could be my lack of imagination.
