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)

This is a lot more reasonable than the article made it sound
No it's not. He's willfully ignoring the mountains of evidence that the Nazis did indeed deliberately target European Jewish people and almost wiped their population out. They targeted other groups, sure. But antisemitic conspiracies were an explicit part of their entire ideology. Yeah, the legacy of the Holocaust is distorted and weaponized by the West, but his statement is one of Holocaust denial.
This is an L. And his take doesn't help the struggle against Israel or the global reputation of Arabs.
That's I am talking about. Weird any commie would support this statement even.
Who elected Assad to be the global representative of Arabs?
I never said he is?
But we gotta acknowledge that Holocaust denial coming from an Arab leader -- one that Marxists generally support -- doesn't exactly help in a time while activists and Arabs are being censored en masse for "antisemitism"
It's not reasonable to deny 6 million jews died in Holocaust. There were systematic killings and torture to wipe out European jewry out of existence along with poles but jews were considered as the lowest grade of people. The concentration camps, the death marches and systematic ethnic cleansing carried out by Nazis was recorded by soviet Union. The problem is solely Jewish state based on Palestine is an artificial problem. Why these arabic governments don't try to address the apartheid in that regard?
~~aside from the first sentence; there's plenty of evidence~~ ehhhhh reading it again, his only good point is that many people [in the West] ignore or trivialize Soviet casualties
Still terrible though
