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.
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)

MODERATORS
Which is hilarious because the capitalists always argue that innovations requires capitalism. They particularly like to point at smartphones, yet cell phones themselves were created in the USSR. Space race? USSR by almost every meaningful metric. The obvious ones people know about, but the USSR are STILL the only country to ever land on Venus.
A few others include:
Medical innovations: The world's first artifical heart, the world's first lung transplant, the world's first liver transplant, cadaveric blood transfusions. All USSR.
Pressure suits and underwater welding? USSR.
Electronic Cigarettes (some people argue the benefits but this is the only thing that helped me quit smoking). China.
Synthetic bovine insulin? China.
Meningitis B Vaccine? Cuba.
Freaking lung cancer vaccine (still in testing admittedly). Cuba.
Capitalists shut down innovation unless they can profit from it. I would argue most of our greatest achievements have been thanks to socialism.
And even when capitalist countries invent something useful, 99% of the time it is done in the PUBLIC SECTOR ๐
