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 just read that

His regime was marked by a silent terror – he presided over the hunting down of armed opposition members and their eventual murder at the hands of the Ministry of Public Security (UB), including some former members of the Home Army.

And like, wtf is "armed opposition member"? Is that what's called a "violent extremist" today?

Parenti's quote, the one about how bourgeois media turns anything about communism into a negative, is definitely applicable to Wikipedia articles too.

I've read an article which casually claimed that the Soviet Union granting equal rights to women is actually evil, because some women wanted to be homemakers. BuT thE eBiL sOviEts putting women on equal standing meant they were pReSsUred by the tWiSTed SovIet sOcieTY to aim higher.

Straight from the alt right misogynist book.

Oh, absolutely. I felt incredibly uncomfortable reading that paragraph. I didn't delve deep into the article's history, but it appeared to have been there for quite a while.

It definitely feels like the anti-AES rhetoric has been ramping up over past few decades. Or maybe it's just me growing older and marxister-leninister and I start to notice more of such bs as a result.

I think to some extent anti-communist propaganda has permeated Western society for over a century.

It's just that in the past decades they've gotten a lot more aggressive about crushing any socialist state, or really just any state that "stands in their way"
