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)

We'll have bread for a while, true, but how bout the circuses?
One thing I'm wondering about with that, is what happens when the US public becomes too poor for Hollywood to market to them? What happens when foreign markets are their only target, because Americans don't have the money for movies and tv anymore?
I can't really imagine a US public that isn't constantly glued to the tv, so I have no real idea what such a thing would even look like.
Maybe that's why the streaming services have started to strongly encourage viewers to go back to pirating.
Honestly with our weak global supply chain and danger of climate change and diseases, along with “the market’s” terrible priorities, I wouldn’t be surprised if they keep cranking out marvel movies and TikToks while people are hungry and the streets of the imperial core.
The newest things in that comment are Marvel movies and TikToks. Unlike some countries, the U.S. doesn’t care about its people (unless they’re bourgeoisie)
True, I just mean on a larger scale. Intodalagoon suggested food would last longer than entertainment.
That's the problem with just-in-time logistics and production. There are no reserves and no capacity to create them. It's the same throughout the western world. I reckon it's one of the reasons the western states were so shit through the pandemic. They couldn't do what China did even if they wanted to. Simple lack of capacity. It was easier to give the appearance that politicians just didn't care about people's health, which comes with the added advantage of garnering even more support from the death cult half of the population.
