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's actually kind of too calm for me here since most lib instances defederated from us. Having them chime in also allowed me to keep up with what they believe in currently.
Honestly that's why I war-drive. No more than twice a month, otherwise it runs the risk of making me spiral; but forewarned is fore-armed. Besides, I anticipate a new idiot wave now that Reddit's talking about their IPO again in tandem with selling poster data to Google.
I should do that too. Yogthos is also a legend.
Unfortunately, I don't know lemmy all that well outside of the 'grad. What are some good instances to go on for that sweet, sweet lib cringe?
Honestly, browsing /all is sometimes enough; but as of late, you'd have to skim the trending front-ends of the lib hellholes and nazi bars that already defedded us.
The one that abbreviates to “SJW” and whoever they federate with if you want to make sure you get all the fascists
They even had the audacity to make mods be initially eligible for their IPO
Oh that's why I saw a headline to the tune of "redditors don't want to invest in reddit"
FAQ said the requirements were 200k+ karma or 5000 mod actions to directly receive the group 1 invite from u/reddit (which means you've been around long enough to see the enshittification, are a mod, or are a repost bot)
Since Reddit will know if you received the message... here it is
Hello,TL;DR: – you’re invited to a special program that lets redditors purchase stock at the same price as institutional investors when we IPO. Details about eligibility and next steps follow. This (long, dense) message has all the info we can provide due to legal restrictions.
As you may have heard, Reddit has taken steps toward becoming a publicly traded company with the initial public filing of our registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 22, 2024. Yes, it’s happening.
And because you have helped make Reddit what it is today, you now have the opportunity to become Reddit owners at the same price as institutional investors.
We’re offering a Directed Share Program (“DSP”) that invites eligible users and moderators who have contributed to Reddit to participate in our initial public offering (“IPO”). (Including you!)
Program Requirements
While being selected to pre-register is the first step, there are certain legal and regulatory requirements to participate in the DSP that are outside of Reddit’s control. Bear with us here…
To be eligible for the DSP, you must:
When the DSP launches (a few weeks after pre-registration ends), individuals who have been confirmed for the program will be contacted by our external DSP Administrator. You will then be asked to provide additional information securely to the DSP Administrator to confirm your eligibility. How to pre-register
The number of people who can participate in the DSP is limited; we will offer this opportunity to as many redditors as we are able to accommodate. If capacity is reached before the deadline, you will be added to the waitlist. Based on demand, we may also limit the number of shares available.
If you are interested in being part of Reddit’s DSP, please go to https://reddit.com/dsp on desktop to complete the pre-registration form. If you are one of the confirmed participants, we will follow up with an email with more details in the coming weeks. You can also refer to the Frequently Asked Questions for more information. Due to regulatory restrictions (yeah… we know…), we are not able to respond to further inquiries or questions.
Pre-registering does not guarantee that you will be invited or able to participate in the DSP; it also does not obligate you to purchase shares.
As with any investment opportunity, you should make an individual decision based on your own personal circumstances and risk tolerance. Therefore, we urge you to review the preliminary prospectus, when available, before deciding whether to invest in Reddit.
The deadline for pre-registering for the DSP is March 5, 2024. If capacity is reached before the deadline, you will be added to the waitlist.
What happens next?
While there won’t be a confirmation email immediately after you pre-register, everyone who pre-registers will receive an email in the coming weeks from “[email protected]” telling them whether they can proceed with the next steps for the DSP.
This is an automated message (beep, boop, beep) and does not receive replies. Please refer to the FAQ for more information. Per our lawyercats, we are not able to respond to further inquiries or questions.

I chose grad for my account not only because it's by far the best instance, but also because I have to spend less effort muting shit communities, because they did the labour themselves by de-feding. Very cozy in here. :3
Shhh don't tell them we enjoy them not bothering us more than they like not seeing us once every so often, they might stop doing it
You're not becoming one of those who enjoys huge walls of text, are you?
im afraid i am slowly becoming a huge nerd, yes
Me too. It comes on fast once it starts.
I bet Marx would have loved huge walls of text. I read him as a lemmy man, while Engels would have been out manning twitter.
See, that's why I'm still on lemmy.ml
I crave conflict. 🤤
I feel like libs get banned the moment I feel I might be able to get through to them.
I disagree, wheb I see them I usually want to see them justify more, because I find it more satisfying for them to dig a hole they cant recover from, but usually what I see happen in the longer threads is they will get close to?the break through then lash put instead
Changing someone is a process. Engage with them and don't lose heart when they turtle down. You've planted the seed of doubt. Often enough it takes hold and grows years later.
This is something these people deeply understand and is exactly why we are so hounded, banned, quarantined, defederated, silenced, strawmanned, ridiculed and described as evil. They want as few people as possible to even come into contact with us, so we don't teach them that there's an alternative to the shitty capitalist system they've set up.
I agree, that is not my argument, I just disagree that at the point that they are banned we are near a break through.
I wish I still thought it was possible to argue people into agreeing with you. 😔
