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.

Belarus has almost half as many maternal deaths per live birth as the country just 2 spots below. What kind of Juche Necromancy are they using?

Belarus is to socialism what puberty blockers are for trans people. Puberty blockers may not give you the body you want but it stops you from the body you don't want. Belarus' political system may not give you the socialist system you want but it stops capitalism from taking over control.

This is a very good analogy. Never saw it like that

How much of a principled socialist is Lukashenko? He seems to be doing his best to preserve Belarus's state-owned economy, somewhat like North Korea.

Is he holding out until the rise of the multipolar world allows for snaller countries like Belarus to be out-and-about socialist?

Why would he wait if it doesn't matter? Belarus already has to deal with sanctions and coup attempts. It wouldn't make a difference if he was socialist, so I think he isn't otherwise he would've shown it more already.

He's tried to make his own ideology but gave up and told university students to study Marxism.
