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)

MODERATORS
I can't believe a communist is honestly advocating for a nuclear exchange. Honestly this reads like a bad edgy roleplay. We need more comrades like Vasily Arkhipov and Stanislav Petrov and less like you.
Even more like some ultraleftist fantasy of Total Destruction and Birth of a New Order, actually. I can't say I was never prey to that kind of thinking -- especially when I just started getting into Marxism -- but it really is juvenile and basically anti-materialist.
You haven't heard the good word of J. Posadas?
I am not advocating for a nuclear exchange.
I am advocating for not backing down or being blackmailed by this monstrosity into just accepting their salami-slicing tactics without any tipping over point ever.
Nowhere did I say "gee they better nuke the jerks tomorrow".
Frankly I think Russia should wait until Trump gets into office and give him an ultimatum and a chance to put a stop to it. I'm afraid he may escalate even further to try and pressure them though but it's worth a shot. And nowhere did I say if that fails they need to jump immediately to nuclear weapons use.
I have nothing more to say as my opinion is being distorted so this is not productive. Nor do I have any interest in trading barbs though I have several thoughts as this isn't going anywhere good.
I admit though I can't recall now that some of my language may have been hasty and imprecise and for that I am sorry for making worse any misunderstandings as a result. edit: I was in a somewhat emotionally agitated state so I may have phrased things in ways I regret though I maintain I didn't and wouldn't advocate that, it certainly wouldn't be my intent.
edit2: I honestly cannot recall what I wrote. It was late. But I accept the criticism unspecific as it is and will try to self-crit.
I reject the notion of a better world through nuclear armageddon as some other comment implied.
