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)

It's somewhat counter-productive and very idealist to argue that people should only be motivated by morality. The reality is that people are self-interested, even when they include larger groups of people (like family and community) in their sense of self.
White people are harmed by racism. Men are harmed by patriarchy. Torturers are harmed by torturing. None of these facts diminishes the other facts that non-white people are more harmed by racism, that non-men are harmed more by patriarchy, that the tortured are harmed more by torturing.
It is perfectly alright for white people to say that they want to end racism because it harms them. It is perfectly alright for torturers to fight against torture because it destroys them and their families. It is perfectly fine for men to fight patriarchy because it harms them.
We need that convergence of interests to move society in the direction of truth, reconciliation, reparation, and liberation.
