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.

I used to lurk on the Marxist subreddits for theory discussions as I was feeling my way through the classics. There were always to many reactionaries and bad faith arguments for me to get involved other than reading. Then I saw a link to here and I've been lurking since the beginning. I made an account when I was confident enough with my Marxism to join in.

I've got basically the same story, except I disovered lemmygrad later on.

I came here though r/thedeprogram there was a link to this site that was pinned for a time just in case reddit did what it did to r/genzedong to r/thedeprogram. And when reddit terminated my account I came here.

I joined hexbear when it was still called chapo.chat but stopped using it. Saw a link to lemmygrad on r/genzedong browsed it occasionally but only made an account once the sub got quarantine

My disillusionment in Mormonism and subsequent embrace of atheism is what set me on the path that led me here.

Discovered Lemmy through looking at the Fediverse wikipedia page and just came across a Lemmygrad post(er) and thought the name was based. By then I had been in a radlib discord server but I knew something was off because they were very pro-ukraine (I'd watched the Boy Boy video about it and felt pretty convinced) and were skeptical of JT, calling him a tankie. Everything in my worldview was vibes-based. I stuck around and lurked this place and Hexbear for like 8 months until I made an account.

Basically everything about communism I know I came to know thanks to the users here and in Hexbear, so I'm eternally grateful for y'all 🫡

[–] SadArtemis@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 8 months ago

I was aware of it for a while- either from (probably) GenZedong or the deprogram.
