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 don't understand seperatists who lead the country they're trying to seperate from
Its performative. Belgian capitalist wouldnt risk the brexit style chaos a break-up of belgium would cause.
on the contrary, chaos is great for implementing austerity
Its the EU, they implement austerity regardless of chaos or stability.
Do you know any other examples of this happening?
The Scottish Nationalist Party has a lot of members in the UK parliament, for example.
Yeah, but they're not in the government
The UK Parliament is literally part of the UK government... They participate, put up candidates for elections, and vote on laws.
To compare: the Sinn Fein party, another "separatist" party, from Ireland, does not send representatives to Westminster. They do not take part directly in the government that they're aiming to becoming independent from, which is a more serious way of going about things than the SNP.
As someone who lives in Scotland I really should have thought of that.
