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.

Anyone else exhausted trying to get people around them to understand how capitalism is the root of all their fears and problems?
Like damn… I feel like I’m lucky to change the mind of 1 out of every 100 I talk to. It’s just frustrating that so many people can’t connect to the bigger picture beyond all the culture war slop.
Revolutionary optimism always, but man I feel like I to apply ice directly to my brain
Gotta focus on the radicalized liberals first, then work backward. Go for the easiest people to talk to first, it's given me far more success.
Geeze I wish it was that high. Agitation feels sisyphean most of the time. Even when someone does agree that capitalism is the root of the problem they will immediately say "communism always fails. human nature... blah blah bullshit"
If I didn't like arguing and being an asshole I would have given up a long time ago.
The Liberals are often redefining words like Capitalism to confuse the people. The Western people could not understand how Capitalism is the source of their problem because Capitalism in theory means free market and minimal government intervention even when Capitalism in practice means plutocratic command economy. Furthermore, the definition of dictatorship and Socialism mean absolute authority and command economy in Western school textbooks. Marxists suggest that those two words originally had different definitions when they mention that dictatorship distribute authority to the working class or their opposition to plutocratic government intervention which is a form of command economy.
