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.

I only just pressed play, and the intro text seems to have some relevant caveats.

For the sake of brevity, this video will focus solely on the state of war and not the internal politics of the involved parties, such as the influence of far-right elements in Ukraine or the reception of mass mobilization in Russia.

That is not a "caveat", it's an announcement that the video you are about to watch will be worthless as a serious analysis of the conflict.

Trying to talk about this conflict without discussing the internal politics of Ukraine is like talking about WW2 without discussing the "internal politics of Germany" at the time. Imagine making a video about WW2 and not mentioning the Nazis a single time. Absurd. This video was a joke.

100% agree, brilliant analogy
