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.

If a current or former imperial troop turns a traitor to the empire, then that is an undeniable win. There have been many cases in US history of its troops turning against and betraying their masters, and joining the anti-war movement, and helping other troops do so also. Every single troop that does so, means less innocent people harmed. This should be encouraged and applauded.

We should see people less as static entities and identities, and more as capable of change. All communist countries (PRC, USSR, Vietnam, Cuba) during their civil wars welcomed traitors who saw the wrongness of the other side to their cause with open arms.

I also doubt the claim that many of these former troops would want you to feel sorry for them. If they didn't think they did anything wrong, then they wouldn't have joined the anti-war movements in the first place.
