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)

MODERATORS
I sometimes wonder how some people are so stupid or naïve they fall for this blatant propaganda. It just doesn't get into my head.
Communism is when there's too much food
I generally dissuade judging from the provocative headlines but it's just as bad as you think. It's boringly bad.
The government made some comments about wasting food. Some laminated papers saying "Consider moderating consumption. Put an end to food waste" somehow becomes AUTHORITARIAN CHINA WILL PUT YOU IN JAIL FOR EATING TOO MANY TREAT
Paradoxically, they also basically say it's a non issue. They end the article with the assessment that nothing will happen:
“The truth is, the implementation won’t be very strict,” said Wu, of the National University of Singapore. Changing how nearly 1.4 billion people eat is a tall order.
In authoritarian China, eating freely is a cherished activity.
Nice way to spin "the Communist Party ended the millennia-long cycle of famine and has provided food security for 1.4 billion people" as something sinister.
