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 can't trust Marxist Paul's opinion on China so I dont wanna spend the time, but I'd love to be wrong
Can you elaborate why? For my own information, not for the purposes of questioning your reasoning.
There was a few specific things he said that rubbed me an Ultra sort of way, I can't remember much in particular.
I do remember specifically him and Hakim talking about China some 3-5ish years ago, which can be summed up by Hakim saying he was "hesistantly optimistic" about China and Paul chiming that he was "hesitantly pessimistic"--in context of whether or not China was actually socialist.
Perhaps he has changed, but people who get sucked into anti-Chinese leftist spaces tend to, in my experience, get worse with time, not better. Love to be wrong though.
I appreciate this sentiment, I definitely prefer to be as Hakim is. Even while acknowledging China's problems, I prefer to see it as a progressive actor taking humanity in a better direction.
