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)

Well, I see lots of people (even socialists) that think that the path taken by the ship is good, it just needs socialism or whatever. Of course, my stance is that this path doesn't lead to socialism and a violent change of world order is necessary before it can achieved. Which might be true or false, but I see it's what you guys defend (edit: to clarify, you guys defend the same position as me, "my stance", not the first one I mentioned, "I see lots of people").
Smugness is not a substitute for theory. Maybe instead of assuming you know what other people think, you try and find out instead.
You don't think a US-dominated unipolar world is a threat to socialism worldwide and must fall? And why don't you think that?
Edit 2: sorry, I realize my mistake. "I see it’s what you guys defend too" would have been a better wording, otherwise I imply that you are among the "even socialists" mentioned at the start.
Edit 1: Nvm I've been called a tankie on another instance, now this. Maybe I'm acting weird, that's all, I'll take good care of my health for a few days and come back. It would help me if you explained yourselves, but I understand if you don't.
We hate the US around here. We're not in favor of the US unipolar order. We also don't like people who say they are "left" but back the USA/NATO and parrot US propaganda about AES states. We get into arguements with people about that a lot, and sometimes we get called tankies for it. If you've found tourself getting called a tankie you might fit in with us
Thank you. I've already requested a Lemmygrad account! Been lurking here for some time, but with the influx of new users I get insulted a lot more lol. So time to find a new home with you guys.
I think DamarcusArt took offense at the implication that socialists want the US to keep doing the same stuff. We most certainly do not want that. I think we're all on the same page here, actually
Yeah, I was under the impression that this was a smug western leftist doing the standard "Acktually US hegemony is better." thing that they do. Very happy to be proven wrong.
Oh, thanks for explaining, my bad. I've never been good with language... My intention was to complain that I see left-leaning people defending that stuff. To be clear, I do NOT believe that. I'm pretty disconnected from this community though and wanted to hear some related points of view. Maybe another time.
Sorry, stupid mistake. "I see it’s what you guys defend" refers to "my stance", not "even socialists". I'm so stupid that I had to ask a friend (with better English) to understand it. I've edited the original comment to reflect this.
Hahaha don't sweat it, pancake Ralsei we've all been there
