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
- If you post an archived link (excluding archive.org), include the URL of the original article as well
- Unless it's an obvious shitpost, include relevant sources
- For articles behind paywalls, try to include the text in the post
- Mark all posts containing NSFW images as NSFW (including things like Nazi imagery)

To be 100 percent fair, tap water in China has shown a concerning level of trace amounts of heavy metals (Not the Led Zeppelin kind, unfortunately) and is often slightly worse than in the U.S., in China its more understandable given that the nation is still a developing country containing over 16 percent of humanity and installing and cleaning new state of the art pipes and irrigating water and purifying minerals from water is extremely complex and tedious work, the Chinese government at least has greatly improved water treatment over the past few decades, continues to do so, has a very strong drive to provide for its people, and has spent billions of dollars introducing tap water to Tibet, which previously didn't have running water until recently.
Where as the U.S. if anything probably wants to get rid of tap water because "its communist!"
