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.

I had the opportunity to speak and interact with younger University age people over the past few days (18-24 range) and I can only say that I am shocked by how it's almost universal that they're either irony poisoned fascists, genuine racists, or reactionaries of another sort. Pretty much politically as right wing as it gets.

I worry that the younger people in Gen Z may be potentially the most susceptible to fascist belief in a very long time, due to the combination of terribly bleak prospects and disillusionment, ease of access and exposure to all manner of online extremist pipelines (video game culture, red-pilling), and the overall deterioration of social skills from growing up hooked up to tech.

If we have any comrades around this age group, or with a lot of experience with them, do you find it to be similar where you are? Or am I just unfortunate to have a particularly sour batch where I happen to be?

People who are "kids these days" have been watching ben shapiro and steven crowder owning libs on YouTube since they were in diapers. They knew they hated SJWs before they learned what society or justice are.
