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.

So, embarassing confession time: I was kind of holding onto (hope I'm not the only one) an irrational hope that the patsoc crowd would someday get past their rightist nonsense and turn into genuine Marxist-Leninists. With the latest split between Maupin and Haz+Jackson Hinkle, I've finally seen what everybody else probably saw a long time ago: not gonna happen.

The thing is, the whole phenomena is just as media and personality-driven as the radlibs they criticize. Maupin is a TV reporter; Haz and Jackson Hinkle are "influencers;" Sameera Khan, who seems to have dropped off the face of the earth, is a model. And they're all jealous of each other's media presence. Maupin seems upset that Jackson have a bigger internet presence than he does. Haz and Jackson Hinkle are jealous that Maupin, as an RT reporter, plays in the media "big leagues;" going to Kremlin press conferences, interviewing the president of Iran, etc. Compared to him, they're small-time operators, and they know it. Hence the attempt to glom onto Andrew Tate -- very weird, because whatever Maupin did back in August last year, Tate did, and worse. Just a bunch of weird opportunists who mistake personal drama for advancing the revolution.

Most of us went through a phase where we ironically liked gulag memes before we actually liked them. They are just stuck there
