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.

It’s for a variety of reasons, some good some bad. Some look back with nostalgia for better times. Others view it in a nationalistic fascist way that the Soviet Union was stronger and “more pure”. Some view the Soviet Union as free from drug abuse, crime, LGBT people, and foreigners. Some want a return to a system that actively benefited the people. Some see the errors of capitalism. Some want Russia itself to be big again and occupy/annex the former Soviet territories for their resources. Some want military might that they associate with the Soviet Union.

Etc.
