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)

The western empire when it's lying through its teeth: "we are trying to get the truth out there against all odds"
Anywhere not on its side that has people trying to exist: "omg everything they're saying and doing is propaganda"
But seriously though, everywhere has biases and tries to influence others from the standpoint of those biases. This is the reality of what the west calls "propaganda", similar to how it will call governments it doesn't like "authoritarian" when every state is authoritarian in that it has to have a monopoly on violence to hold together. And every organization, even without a "state" entity, has to use some form of authority and consequences, formal or informal, to hold things together.
The western empire pretends to be "above" and "outside" these things, equipped to judge them from on high, when it has the most dishonest propaganda of anyone and some of the most violent authority in human history.
China uses its authority: 800 million lifted off poverty
USA uses its authority: 13 wars at the same time
The invisible hand of the market is a natural phenomenon, beyond good and evil, unimpeachable.
