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.

Wikipedia isn't necessarily always bad; it's just that as Marxists have to examine the bias, reasoning and the "why" of a certain author writing a book, who funded the book and who's using the book, media or whatever example as a source. A lot of liberals misunderstand the sheer level of cold-war era disinformation and fear-mongering that is waged constantly by the ruling class. Communist parties are "banned" under the Communist Control Act of the 1950s. While technically not active, it could be easily invoked at any moment and exists as a sole reminder of how brutal the suppression of our very freedoms was during the Red Scare.

With that precedent alone; we also understand both our domestic AND our foreign intelligence agencies had vested interests in suppressing dissent or "volatile revolutionary ideals" during the cold war. That much is obvious. Declassified documents and even Wikipedia itself documents "Operation Gladio" and the litany of other clandestine acts they committed against foreign nations or against activists at home in COINTELPRO.

Do you think they just stopped? They just brushed their hands in the 90s, kicked back and retired off selling crack/cocaine? A lot of our opponents criticize us for using "CIA" or other organizations such as the Heritage Foundation (which, if you dig enough, as Comrade Pup Ivy showed, has literal CIA connections) to blow off Western media or sources; when in reality it is them who is completely denying the reality of information warfare. Truly, you see the consequences of that.

As for sources you can use, Grayzone is good. Browse the news comm on Hexbear and a few more will pop up from time to time.
