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, disabled people are hardly the ones to be criticizing for inaction. How debilitating a disability is can vary; some people would be more able to help than others. But even if someone is on the less disabled range of disabled, it's still shitty to portray it like they're making an excuse for inaction. Recognizing that disabilities make it harder to take various actions for the person, that they can't simply overcome this with willpower, is like half the battle with fighting against ableism. Now sometimes a disabled person may be able to get help that makes it easier to overcome the limitations of their disability, but that's far from a bootstraps thing. It should be a community responsibility to help them out.
But individualism can tripped up on thinking people are supposed to individually arrive at the correct place of their own volition (literally or figuratively), which is far less effective and highly unreliable compared to organizing them.
Like imagine if I said "people should really be meeting me at xyz address at n time of day" and I pushed this as a view online for years on end. And then I showed up at that address at that time every day. I might get some people to show up now and then (and god knows who), but it would not be anything resembling a reliable organization. Point being, we can try to steer people in the right direction (ex: with political education), but we can't organize them via individualist proclamations about responsibility and neglect of it.
