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.

He exposes some progressive views but he is still a liberal. He was one of the economists that advised Yeltsin's Russia regarding shock therapy. So he has this gigantic skeleton in his closet.

I still listen to him, because I like having a broader view on things, but I would never consider him a comrade.

I agree which is why i find this declaration carrying a lot of weight, it's coming from a guy with some degree of authority on US politics and carries himself as very rational.

I think it has weight, however, his accusation lacks evidence. He is presenting very circunstancial evidence about a US COVID leak. There's not even hard evidence of a genetic manipulation of the coronavirus. It's very unlikely the media will give any attention. If there was even a request for a US lab to use Chinese facilities to spread the virus, both China and the US will keep denying the issue, even if China was the victim in this case.
