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)

It seems to me he’s framing it as “6 million Jews… but there were 26 million Slavic victims so who are the true victims?” which seems to be pretty much Holocaust denial to me.
He isn’t outright denying the concentration camps were a thing but he is saying that there is an element of mythmaking in the story of the Holocaust to justify the creation of Israel, and he further seems to deny that modern Jews are descendants of the diaspora which is all pretty much Holocaust denial.
Like, he’s framing it all in a way to undermine the legitimacy of Israel and to undermine any historical connection to Israel that Jewish people feel, and he’s doing that by denying their Jewishness and walking right up to and putting a foot over the line of saying the Holocaust didn’t really happen in the sense of particularly targeting Jewish people.
It’s bad.
Edit: and he seems to question the reliability of 6 million Jewish victims so it’s not just a foot over the line, it’s rank Holocaust denial.
