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)

Might not be my business, since I'm not Muslim or Arab (I am a POC though), but I don't think you should concede that point. Alot of Arabic countries' leaders are no doubt shitty/evil. But that doesn't preclude the U.S. from being untrustworthy and duplicitous and conniving.
As you said, Arab nations and the Global South have far more to fear from the U.S. than they do China.
Even on the extreme end, China would at most send a strongly worded letter and a handful of slight sanctions to any country that slanders them, but China as a whole forgives slights surprisingly easily and is way more willing to not rock the boat, and to keep trading, for practical, economic, peaceful and diplomatic reasons.
A single low-level governmental official of a global south country could rightfully talk shit about the U.S., and the U.S. could spend an entire country's worth of GDP like it was goddamn pocket change, to pay violent psychopath gang members and mercenaries, religious fundamentalists, or wealthy traitorous gusanos (or any combination of the above) to overthrow that country's government, psychologically, mentally, physically and sexually assault it's people, siphon it's natural resources, and lie about it, all before fucking breakfast.
I don't concede the point. I used to but for the reasons stated above I've stopped, and tried to get other people in my community to follow that decision as well.
