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.

I agree, though I do not think there is any harm in celebrating the death of an objectively horrible person. As long as you don't think that everything is peachy-keen and all that is left is rainbows and unicorns.

Sure there's nothing wrong with it. As long as you don't think you know it changes anything or especially changes the fact there are people just as vile as him currently in power, Nuland, Blinken, a few others. I think it's unfortunate many who rightfully hate on Kissinger for crimes that are okay to admit will also deny more recent crimes (Ukraine for instance) and not see the modern Kissingers actually wielding power and destroying human lives as we type to each other and not hope and pine for their demise as they have for Kissinger.

Oh agreed again for sure, there's plenty of people still around as bad as him. I don't think we are in any disagreement at all.

I will say that since he was still meetings diplomatic figures he probably had some pull, so it remains a good thing he kicked out now because he was likely still actively doing harm.
There's also a tiny chance some people might go "Huh, if this guy was that bad maybe some of these other politicians were too...". I don't hold all that much hope, but call me an optimist.

They're just as bad but the plus side (if you can characterize it as that) is they're way dumber. It's telling that towards the end of his life he was calling out the Biden admin for being reckless af.
