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)

It’s crony capitalism!
It’s conservative capitalism!
It’s corporate capitalism!
It’s neoliberal capitalism!
It’s anything but capitalism as such.
Ha ha! They do make a pretense at being concerned though! It's all to give liberals a reason to feel smug and superiorl
Oh man. In the not too distant past. About a year and a half now. I would say that, Yeah, that was one of my favorite shows and... Its very true. Watching that show give me a sense of superiority for sure.
In fact, it's kind of funny. I think that show had a backlash effect on me. I'd watch this show every week expose some problem and then society would do fuck all to fix it. Long story short, I eventually realized that the problem was capitalism, obviously. Went on a journey to learn how to actually solve these problems.
Now I'm a tankie.
Thanks Mr. Oliver!
This show pisses me off specifically because it 1) often glosses over some of the most egregious evidence that points specifically to active US propagandism on issues and 2) never offers any solutions, even when they are staring you in the face.
Even when the show is right and does good research, that last point gets me. I can't watch most episodes anymore without getting mad at it, so I stopped watching.
Yeah that's where I'm at now, on both accounts. I started a segment on YouTube a month or so ago and could not get more than a couple minutes in. Too frustrating.
