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)

and redfash DANKIEISM to boot!
Happy cake day, by the way.
lol @ dankieism
and thanks! so glad to have this community and reddit as a distant memory
Genzedong on reddit -- those were the days. Lib Cringe Weekends, People's Volcel Vanguard, Victims of Chen Weihua, Jiang making the "whut" face: we were annoying the entirety of reddit, and it was glorious. As glorious, anyway, as posting on that hellsite can really ever be.
Yeah, man, that was after MoreTankieChapo got hit. Good times.
I think I came in right after they banned Chapo. The tankie presence on reddit is sadly missed.
Insert Proles Pod "sounds authoritarian" meme here
Xi has been urging officials in recent years to “get used to living frugally” as part of a government belt-tightening campaign. He has ramped up a crackdown on petty corruption, which has targeted opulence, bribery and other misconduct by low-level bureaucrats that affect ordinary citizens. The crackdown has driven disciplinary cases to record levels. The party punished nearly 313,000 people in 2024 for breaching the “eight-point regulations,” a directive against frivolous and wasteful conduct that Xi enacted shortly after taking power in 2012. This was more than double the 2023 figure and 10 times the total in 2013, the first full year of Xi’s leadership, according to CCDI data.
Yes, I can't see that as a bad thing. Imagine the Western public's perception, if any liberal party did that, despite still funneling money to the top.
Xí Jìnpíng now confirmed Trot, lOl
[Xi] has ramped up a crackdown on petty corruption, which has targeted opulence, bribery and other misconduct by low-level bureaucrats that affect ordinary citizens.
I hope they also target the big fish.
Despite the enforcement, “cadres will continue to skirt around those new rules and find ways to continue to engage in ‘research’—yanjiu,” Wedeman said, referring to a Chinese phrase that also sounds like “tobacco and alcohol.”
Learning mandarin must be fun.
All in all, what's the deal with it, bezos?
research sounding like tobacco and alcohol is something I have never seen a single Chinese person ever point out, nor have I ever noticed. The intonations are basically polar opposites too, so I have no clue what this loser is getting at.
Yeah, I hope they go after the big fish too. Honestly, they've done a lot of that already in their anti-corruption campaign, and it may be the case at this point that many of the low-level guys are worse; being in a (relatively) unimportant and less visible position often means you can fly under the radar and get away with stuff that people higher up couldn't. The Party is probably taking the "flies" seriously because low-level bureaucrat are generally the ones who have immediate contact with the masses; if you're an average citizen with not too much political awareness, encountering corruption in local agencies can really turn you against the government. Think how many Americans become soured on any kind of government regulation or planning after one visit to the DMV.
