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.

No mention of why Romania was in such a bad state. Turns out it was the same playbook as today with the Global South. Romania gets IMF loans mid 70s. And just like John Perkins discusses in his book 'confessions of an Economic Hitman', the IMF made the terms of the loan contingent on austerity. Then due to global macroeconomic conditions and interest rate hikes, Romania can't repay the debts and starts to implode. This of course by design as per IMF/World bank strategy.

The people rise up against AUSTERITY but libs scream about 'communist dictatorship'.

Zero historical context. Just 'Communism bad, mmmkay?'. Like the Ukraine proxy war, nothing happened before Russia invaded. No it was 'totally unprovoked'.

Here's the background of this lemmy.world propaganda:

The person that posted this image also pasted 4 other images with similar titles. I replied with the link to the IMF loan, explained 'confessions of an economic hit man' and he immediately dismissed me as a tankie. This is my shocked face.

It got worse after you saw it last:

gentle reminder that the Soviets were perfectly content with Nazi Germany until Nazi Germany invaded all of Poland instead of sharing it with the Soviets.

Gentle remind that the US was perfectly content with Nazi Germany for most of the war.

And hired nazis after the war. In fact many prominent business leaders were arguing the US was entering WW2 on the wrong side.
