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.

Hey Global Network, you know you can just send me a DM and I'll explain everything you want to know? Why does nobody ever do that? Is this how 'research' is conducted nowadays?

It's wild how liberal journos do all those ethnographic interviews of fascist groups but don't seem to do the same for communists nearly as often.

You're right, they go out there and meet incels and fascists and try to dress the portrait of the "misunderstood kid", meanwhile we get reduced to a congealed mass that exists solely on the computer screen (but is somehow still very dangerous)

I can't say it would be a good use of your time (arguably, it would be actively detrimental to us all) but you probably could get a response if you reached out to the people who did this paper, if you were interested.

We should instead publish our own response paper accusing them of being tankies. That's a thing academics do, right? Like diss tracks?

Yeah, a "Poverty of Philosophy" type beat, except they have given us so little to work with that it would be difficult to make anything substantial.
