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

From first hand experience I know that french people are so keen to be against stuff that they'll never be for an alternative. They just throw big tantrums at capitalism but they're not ready to build socialism
One day it'll happen, i hope. More radical leftists are required
A nominally leftist party (probably actually socdems) won the French elections at one point, maybe in the 70s. They got to work raising taxes on capitalists and their means of production. It took about two years before they rolled it back cause the capitalists just said "oh alright, we'll just leave and take our money with us then."
Yes, yes, do leave and go to China. That's where the money is porky.
(would they go to China in the 70s? Not sure where cheap manufacturing was being offshored too during the 70s)
AFAIK China’s opening up didn’t occur until the 80s or hit its stride until the 90s.
Gotcha, didn't remember if it was 80s or late 70s.
