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.

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

[–] juchebot88@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 year ago

It's either that, or the name of a really bad metal band from the 80s
