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.

Me normally: nationalize everything

Me when I have to go to the government run liquor store with long lines, shit selection, absurd prices and infuriating ID check at the door to keep poor people out cause its the only place to buy hard liquor: you know privatization has its merits...

That's a very badly (and hostile) implemented system

Besides, there is a place for small businesses like bars even in communism, just a bit different from this system

fully agreed, mostly I just hate not being able to get my liquor at the store with the rest of my groceries, as it is in much of the world

Then you go to a private bank and remember that they are also incredibly inefficient.
