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.

Its still an invasion by definition. What the intentions of the assaulting army are don't matter in regard to whether a military undertaking is an invasion or not.

We can't just pick and choose good sounding names and assume that changes reality, or that by adhering to a definition that that somehow cedes ground.

Invasion: A military offensive in which large numbers of combatants of one geopolitical entity enter territory owned by another such entity, generally with the objective of either: conquering; liberating or re-establishing control or authority over a territory, forcing the partition of a country; altering the established government or gaining concessions from said government; or a combination thereof.

I understand that. Yet most liberals will falsely equivocate regardless.

I understand, but we reach a point where that is simply not our problem anymore. We cannot try and make every little detail adhere to their worldview.

If they make the equivalence, then so be it.

True Communists will correctly equivocate.
