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:
Welcome again to everybody! Make yourself at home. In the time-honoured tradition of our sect, here is the weekly discussion thread.
● Matrix homeserver and space
● Theory discussion group on Matrix
● Find theory on ProleWiki, marxists.org, Anna's Archive and libgen.
● Audio versions by Socialism For All (just keep in mind that he's an ultraleftist)
I was given a box full of books today and among them were Animal Farm and literally 1984. Should I read them?
Why not? First time I read it was last year when I bought it through a vending machine at a Chinese train station. At this point it's just a meme, and won't give you any insight to the oppositions psyche.
Reading books to understand the liberal psych is impossible today, I don't think they read books
Book vending machines are so cool.Contrast that with the reddit vending machines elsewhere.
Nahh, it still cost a multiple of the initial asking price.
China does have smart libraries strewn about the place, especially in cities with low income, that are located along city streets and parks, which provide free Wi-Fi, charging and air conditioning. You can borrow books with an app for almost free (albeit with a required deposit that gets charged if you don't return it)
That's awesome. I just wanted to take a swipe at the creep machines tbh.
Those two would be better used as toilet paper.
1984 is honestly a really good book. It is solid literature. The world it creates is also a perfect fascist/capitalist dystopia, and if the CIA propaganda behind the whole 1984 Gommunism meme didn’t exist, it would be an excellent piece of pro-communist literature.
Animal farm is literal drivel though.
