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.

Personally the way I'd measure economic strength is simply by multiplying total power generation (industrial development) with total agriculture production (sustainability and general labor output). Data for the USSR is lacking but we can guesstimate that peak USSR was anywhere from equal to somewhat below USA by those metrics while China today is about 1.95 times USA's size.
