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.

I would love to join a left wing, maybe party related martial arts group but so far I have found no support within our party to do so. And I don't know how/don't have the time to start one myself.

But I feel like it it highly naive not to do so. No offense to my comrades but a cute sign won't stop the far right militia, who ARE training as we speak.

I really want to pick up a martial art myself. As a trans woman, I'm interested in some queer gyms that have kick boxing training. But Sanda is a cool martial art as well that I would like to perform, but I don't know how queer friendly the gyms are that have it.

But tbf what's also very important for self defense, maybe even more so, is sprint training. How fast you can run away from cops and fascists matters.

I believe ROOD does the occasional self defence class but I also believe they are Trotskyists. I guess you could still join them for the self defence 😅

Otherwise queer friendly gyms might be difficult. The martial arts world can be a macho masculine one.
