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)

In looking into this again I found a supposedly serious legal breakdown that literally says that in the intro paragraph.

The case for blocking Russian media is made on the basis that it is "propaganda for war," yet one cannot seriously argue that what western media is doing isn't propaganda for war.
Well you see, they are the Good Guys, so they can't do propaganda. That is only for authoritarian dictatorships, not enlightened democracies like civilized European countries. Otherwise, their totally free media would call them out on it.
So...their argument is literally just "it's ok when we do it?" not even trying anymore. Though I guess they don't have to.
