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.

Because I want more organizing and activism.

I don't want people who have never organized or done activism or built anything.

I don't want just commentary.

Agitation is the foundation of organization. There are plenty of leftist organizing things but they get co-opted by the liberals because the class consciousness isn't there. With sufficient class consciousness in a population you can't stop organization. It will happen nearly of its own accord.

Maybe the next revolutionary leftist podcast will be the one that breaks out of leftist circles and starts killing liberalism.

I doubt that it will happen with a podcast; we need to meet people in real life, not just through podcasts that sometimes preach to the choir.

Lenin didn't spend half a book talking about the necessity of founding newspapers because he never considered talking to people in real life. You will never be able to have a one hour political conversation with 10,000 people. A small podcast does that every week. Podcasts are the pamphlets and newspapers of the 21 century. If the podcasts aren't reaching the right people we need more of them not less.
