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)

how does one approach ostensible commies/comrades doing the whole #freeiran bullshit, in the Netherlands a bunch of "pro-Palestine" orgs are outing themselves as zionist by either expressing support for "Iranian protesters" or doing a "both sides" thing where they say "fuck both the regime and the US" (whatever that means??)
should i still go to events even if the organizers parrot that imperialist bs, should one discuss it wherever possible, voice it until i get kicked out, etc
or should one boycott them and just involve oneself with the extremely few anti-imperialist orgs still present
The next best thing for the State Department, if they can't get leftists to outright support imperialist intervention and regime change, is to get you to "both-sides" it.
They don't need to get you to support imperialism if they can, for all practical intents and purposes, simply neutralize your opposition to imperialism.
There is absolutely no comparison between a global empire and a state defending itself from imperialist aggression and nefarious regime change operations.
If Iran's government is toppled it will be subjugated again to the interests of imperialism as it was under the Shah, its resources extracted for Western profits.
How did the regime change in Syria turn out? How did it turn out in Libya? Are the people there better off now?
There is only so often that we can tolerate imperial core so-called leftists to fall for the same trick over and over again before we have to admit that maybe they're not being tricked.
Maybe they are siding with empire over the victims of empire because it validates their chauvinism and advances their material interests.
