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)

Yeah, barbarism is looking increasingly likely. Even if Biden wins he won't do much to stop it, as he has made clear in his current term.
Hell, Biden has done so much to accelerate it, if anything. Whether fascism comes waving the cross and flag, or waving a rainbow flag and talking about how inclusive it is (just pinkwashing with little to no substance- as with Isn'treal, the Democrats, the occasional PR stunts the US tries in Ukraine like that trans spokesperson or that pride parade, or with "liberals" across the west) at this point I think it's just a matter of which optics the west decides to embrace in its return to outright fascism.
And I say that as someone who falls under a whole spiel of intersectionalities (trans, POC, technically immigrant, etc) and is a staunch progressive myself- it's just two different shades of equal barbarism, if anything the latter strikes me as more insidious and disgusting- in a manner comparable to, I imagine, how anti-Zionist Jewish people feel seeing their people's suffering be twisted into such an abomination that inflicts the same on others.
