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.

Question for Londoners and people who've been to London, is it actually that much of a piss-smelling shithole? That's basically all I've heard coming from friends who have gone there, which as someone from a fairly dirty third-world city, is surprising.

I've been to London twice, once as an exchange student for some time. Lived in Eltham actually. I've always thought it was a great city to live in. But that was around ten years ago, something like that. It faces the difficulty of every western city: overpriced, gentrified, housing shortage, etc.

I enjoyed the city very much. It is absolutely massive though so there is no 'one London' to speak about. Walking around Fulham is vastly different than walking around, idk, Hackney. The piss smell wasn't noticed by me at least.

Yes. I lived there for some years. The pungent urine aroma emitted from the entrance to Lancaster Gate Station will forever be etched into my mind
