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.

The Netherlands' leading marxist YouTuber made a weird video about a political murder 20 years ago in which he suddenly felt the urge to ask the murderer, who is free now, about the why. And he did so by ambushing him in his hometown.

I don't get it. Like, the reason the YT says is because he wants to get the story about the man who, according to him, is responsible for a bad rep of the left because of the murder. But the left will always get a bad rep regardless. I don't see what newsworthy things this story will bring. Very cheap content.

Yeah I saw it too. They made a whole deal out of it, like they were making the best journalistic piece but they said nothing that wasn't already said before. I get asking Volkert why he did it but it's not the most important thing right now and doesn't need 39 minutes. They're lucky I had time to kill otherwise I wouldn't have watched it all.

It could've been okay if Bob actually managed an interview but he just drove to wherever Volkert lives and harassed him on his bike. And not in a tactful way, just straight up 'WHY DID YOU DO IT???' like he has some deeply personal vendetta against the guy.

But then again I think he is unironically a maoist and he had weird takes before
