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)

It sounds silly, but have you tried sharing your story? Like so many of us, myself included, you were probably once a lib. What were some of the key events that got you from there to here? It's not guaranteed to work, especially not online, but it can help humanize you in the eyes of anyone reading. And that can make them more receptive to other things you have to say.
well, my upbringing mostly. the places where I grew up were mostly left leaning or communist controlled areas. but i was apolitical for most of my adult life and maybe was even a lib but the event that triggered me is ukraine war really? i started researching about zelensky and why everyone is dick-riding him at the beginning of the conflict. and soon i started to reading Vijay Prasad etc.
This is good. If you start with the fact that you weren't really political, then only became so because of what you found at the beginning of the war in Ukraine, it's a more compelling story than "listen to me! I'm right!" (it took me longer than I care to admit that many of my arguments used to sound more like the latter than the former).
