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.

You may want to compare and contrast the USA for example. What is democracy exactly? If people got to vote once every 20 years would it still be a democracy? What about every 4 years, and then the only two candidates were Trump, who doesn't respect the process, or Harris who has never received a single vote in her life and has zero actual policies announces a short time before the election?

Or look at France right now.

I think it's much harder to argue that the USA is a democracy than it is for China.
