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.

Like the rest of the compatible left they exist to drive attention and engagement into the bourgeois press through their reaction-analysis, feuding over it, generic branded activist news outlets like Democracy Now and tech rights publications which do the same things, in order to make their own living. They are broadly indistinguishable from The Young Turks and influencers posted on Lemhexgrad and the like, they interact with them, use the same journalistic methods with minor variations in style and branding.

I guess i can't bring myself to dismiss them because they have correct geopolitics, which is never true for the compatible left...

I wouldn't necessarily say that they even have correct geopolitics, they sort of get partly correct geopolitics, in the way that some conservatives accidentally get more correct takes on Russia or Palestine.

A lot of them don't, though, they exist to subvert and shitcoat the correct stances of countries like Cuba and China and Venezuela. Please don't be mislead by their branding and associations with midwitted posters.

They definitely have some people who like them who partially relate and don't understand it's a grift.
