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)

I actually don't think so. Die Linke has at best a both-sidesy position on Israel-Palestine. My impression from the people i've talked to is that they don't really think much about foreign policy. It's the progressive economic and social policies of Die Linke that attract younger people. Just like it's not the AfD's stance on Russia or anything as intellectually complex as NATO-EU that attracts people to vote for them, but rather simple things like xenophobia and anti-vax conspiracy theories.
People are primarily worried about the things that personally impact them (or that they think impact them) most immediately. Of course exceptions exist (all of us communists are proof of that), but most people are not as engaged with what is happening in the rest of the world as we are.
