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.

My frustrations are with people who have no idea what’s going on and feel proud about not wanting to find out.

This has been my struggle for a while. I'm pretty convinced that the principle issue of America/the west is not that there are "dumb people" that support Trump and right wing policies though they contradict with their class interest, it's the people who are apathetic and are only able to think about what's immediately in front of them (I need more money, I need this treat etc.) and disconnect everything else going on, such as when people are wrongfully detained they assume that it would never happen to them.

I've also found that when prodded, these people will not want to learn or get involved because it will make them depressed (they also say "I'm not interested" as if it's some hobby), but also they have a discontent for their current lifestyle anyways. There are infinite excuses they will make up on why not to learn or get involved.
