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.

I don't recall this ever being mentioned in educational materials. I do recall my history schoolbook talking about Molotov-Ribbentrop "pact", but never anything else. Not the Spanish civil war and who supported who there, not the many agreements between European countries and Nazis, nothing. IIRC it mentioned a "joint parade" between USSR and Nazis in Poland, though

TFW even my somewhat lib history teacher told us that Molotov-Ribbentrop pact was to buy time to prepare for war.

That was the common understanding in the 2000s as far as I can recall.
