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)

The wall was only in Berlin, not the whole country like this guy suggests
Yeah, reading it made me believe that the wall split the entirety of Germany in half.
I was in high school before I realized (my father, an historian, told me) that the wall was only in Berlin. Every textbook I'd read up until that point implied it was all across Germany.
US textbooks intentionally conflate the Berlin Wall with the "Iron Curtain".
Every time I see the term “Iron Curtain” I can’t help visualizing an actual metal curtain lol
It's either that, or the name of a really bad metal band from the 80s
They draw it as an actual graphic on a map of Europe lmao
