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.

So why is "Houthis" a racist term?

Because "Houthi" are a Yemeni tribe and not the name of the group, the group calls themselves "Ansarallah", it's like if you call the ANC of South Africa the "Thembus"

Wasn’t it called the “Houthi Movement” primarily because the majority of the main leaders were from the Houthi tribe, with many having the al-Houthi surname?

Doubt Libs would care to make the distinction anyways.
