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)

To be honest, I would have preferred seeing more leftists take a neutral approach to the Russo-Ukrainian war than siding with Ukraine. ‘Both sides are wrong’ is still an oversimplification and not the best approach to take, but it’s at least easier to understand than siding with a pro-NATO dictatorship of the bourgeoisie that has been lousy with neofascists for at least a decade.
There's no such thing as a real left in the US. It's either CIA synthetic left or MLs.
Yeah, like i understand the optics about big country attacking small country that makes western leftists side with Ukraine, but i don't understand how then they completely ignore the US role in this.
It pretty much declares that western "leftists" are really "right-wing" in a global context and only "left-wing" in their local context, they only want to reap the benefits of western imperialism along with their capitalist overlords, they give no shit about the global class struggle. Yanis Varoufakis is the prime example of this.
The "labor aristocracy" theory was way more correct than Engels or Lenin could ever have imagined.
They are “Leftists in name only”
