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)

There's a theory that season 2 is about to reveal that it's set in the DPRK and is meant to showcase that North Korea is the worst: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=gmEVUxVwUWk (warning, lib video)
Which, if true, makes it libtrash. It's just a theory though and we'll have to wait and see.
In general, it's a pretty good commentary on capitalism and what it forces people to do, but certainly not the best in that category.
That's sad.. going the stranger things route :(
That's one thing about movies made in capitalist countries with anti-capitalist themes... since they can't show a successful revolution, they by consequence can't have happy endings, or protagonists who win, and so are almost always incredibly depressing. I wanna see a goddamn successful revolution and a happy ending, we have so few of those, but they moved mountains.
Yeah, Western media can be really good at showing the horrors of capitalism, but they almost always just go "well it's what it is" instead of solving it. Not even fantasy pretend solving it.
