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)

Personally I'm not that good at countering liberal comments on our posts, which seems to be happening more and more frequently with any posts relating to China. It'd be a lot easier if we could have a big pinned post with all the materials we need so we can just link to it whenever we need to.

This has always been my position. There is a close to 0% chance you are going to change the mind of the person you are arguing with, with the rare exception of people who have only a surface-level understanding of the issues and are not yet emotinally or intellectually invested.

There are always bystanders though who will see what people are posting. The Marxist providing rational and well reasoned arguments is going to seem a lot more compelling to people who themselves aren't invested, especially compared to somebody verbally running around in circles making unfounded claims.
