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)

high quality shitposting lol
The average Roman was 1.65 meters tall. They were short but, if their statues are any indication, quite stocky. Lower height = lower brain size = lower intelligence. Good for manual labor but not much else. Perhaps that's why they enslaved each other so frequently like savages. From studying their "art" we see they also had an inclination towards crudely displaying their genitalia for the world to see, which are the trademarks of a savage people. Emperor Moctezuma of the Aztec was much more refined in his relationship to nudity, wearing a flayed human skin with much more grace and as a signifier for eschewing traditional, crude nudity for a more cultured form of it - a simulacra that is a complete simulation, or presents itself as such, but can never be, because it can never be the original. The perfect simulation, essentially. This is much more interesting and testifies to the Aztecs' higher cognitive capabilities than the white marble statues the Romans said "good enough" at and then kept making ad nauseam for the next 500 years.
