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)

Article is paywalled by the way, but you get the jist from the first paragraphs anyway, "oh no, we can't subdue the US's enemies, ahem, i mean "authoritarian enemies of democracy" through unilateral coercive measures, sorry, "sanctions" anymore, blah, blah, blah...".

Thanks, that's super helpful. The graphs are interesting but nothing we haven't seen or heard before in some form or another. Still, always useful to have a mainstream source to be able to confront liberals in denial with the cold hard data.

What's most surprising is that some of the people commenting on the article seem actually way less delusional than whoever writes these pieces. I'm used to the readership of US MSM outlets being very ideologically liberal. I guess WSJ attracts a slightly different sort than your NYT or your WaPo.
