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)

About whether the military recruits mostly poor or rich people, I did some digging and found this: https://www.ifn.se/media/4fdbrrus/wp965.pdf
And this: https://www.brookings.edu/articles/how-the-u-s-military-became-the-exception-to-americas-wage-stagnation-problem/
The main problem for me is that, for any war, victory isn't wiping out the enemy entirely, but rather getting them to surrender. This means that the enemy's troops lose the will to fight. The question for me is almost always "how can I demoralize US troops?". How can I get them to feel that surrender is the better option?
