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.
See this GitHub page for a collection of sources about socialism, imperialism, and other relevant topics.
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)

Yeah, to me it reads more like a Sri Lanka situation: grassroots movement that will be co-opted by US to prop up a liberal regime
But obviously this is a vibes based assessment not based on evidence
Doesn't seem that grassroots to me, given that the protests and much of the branding and slogans behind the protests were apparently organized by an NGO with connections to Western corporations and CIA funded organizations:

The more we learn, the more US fingerprints we find. And with imagery that just coincidentally happens to have popped up in some also very suspicious events in Indonesia this same month:

This is starting to feel more and more like a common playbook similar to what we saw during the Arab Spring events.
For those too young to remember the Arab Spring, i'll remind you that what happened then was highly engineered by the NED and its NGOs, having trained activists in using social media to organize and propagandize, brainwashing the local youth into acting as footsoldiers for toppling regimes.
This time the trial run for the new playbook for the region seems to have been what took place in Bangladesh last year.
Good point I didn't know about that NED funding and Berletic and his sources are very credible
What's funny is that his sources usually just consist of going on the web sites of these groups and clicking on the sponsors and partners section. Most of them don't bother to hide it so you can easily do this kind of digging yourself if you are ever sus about some group.
