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.

Symbolic representation matters, especially if the bloc continues to grow. I wonder if there will be a legitimate desire for a name that goes beyond an acronym. The nice thing about something like "Warsaw Pact" was that it could be used for any number of participants.

They could call it "The International Community"

Oh the international community isn't going to like that at all.

Well, they already have the "Rules-Based International Order", how about the "Kicks Ass-Based International Order?", or the "Totally Shreds-Based International Order".

BRICS+, Expanded BRICS; and BRICSX, where X represents the number of member states, are all acceptable.
