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.
See this GitHub page for a collection of sources about socialism, imperialism, and other relevant topics.
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

I can't say I'm surprised in the context of other events. Like the health insurance CEO who got whacked. When that happened, people were kinda like "yeah, that makes sense, given the way healthcare is." It showed people are not as shy of political violence as they might have been in some times past. Between that and signs the US could be heading toward another civil war of some kind, if anything, I'm surprised it's taking this long to escalate. Not saying I want chaotic violence, but well, it already kind of is a country of chaotic violence. The US is a goddamn mess and a lot of people are just sort of putting up with it or finding ways to blame themselves or each other as individuals rather than the system. Even people who don't believe in bootstraps mentality on paper still sometimes act like they believe in it and like all problems are solved through personal striving; they'll give lip service to systemic issues and then turn around and individualize the solutions. Nobody with power and broad influence is actually promising real, meaningful change, much less following through on promises, so it's deteriorating more so into violence. Obama era was probably the last time the promises were there along with political victory, but then he didn't follow through and was just eight years of aesthetics and scraps of reform tweaks. Sanders tried to do the promise of better thing, but couldn't pull off a win.
So that's where things are.
