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.

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.

People who claim to have gone from a "Marxist"(which I doubt they ever had a real understanding of) to anarchist don't make any sense. Do these people think ignoring the national and global level of the problem will better address it? Do they think the oligarchy won't equally quell your pitiful attempt at anarchism with tanks and artillery the same as any other attempt to break free of the system?

How could anyone think anarchism could address climate change more effectively when it's incapable of removing the capitalist system from power as we see throughout history?

Yeah no shot someone understands Marxism and then "leaves" it. Especially not to anarchism.

I can sympathize with the hope getting dimmer, it really is dire. But the nihilistic "let's do nothing and bask in sadness while the world burns" is just dumb. I'd rather go out trying.
