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’ve been subjected to too much NPR in the last few days. It’s sad hearing them and knowing Marxism would help them so much in making sense of the world. For example I remember when, on Planet Money, the guest was asked what would happen if there was no unemployment. He couldn’t come up with an answer.
Citations Needed is like a left wing NPR.
True, that show’s great.
sorry if it's a dumb question, but what's NPR?
U.S.'s "National Public Radio".
Don't let the name fool you, they receive more private funding than public funding. They even got mad at Musk for slapping a "U.S. government-affiliated media" label on their Twitter account, crying, "no, in fact, we're almost 99% privately owned!" and ditching the platform.
I have liked a couple of their programs, but even their best program cannot escape the confines of the liberal braincage.
Oh, during Bush's presidency, they banned the word torture from being used in any of their pieces detailing his administration, claiming it was a loaded and biased term to describe waterboarding. So.
Never sure how much weight to place on 'public' even in the best of bourgeois dictatorships.
