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.

FYI, Joti Brar and CPGB-ML are TERFs.
I realize they're problematic but this is one of the most based and theoretically correct anti imperialist takes on Ukraine I've heard. Also some good analysis of English mainstream politics further in. Credit where credit is due. Hoping they will evolve out of the TERFy stuff.
Problematic?? They’re just as bad as bourgeois religious institutions attacking people for something like being trans and just trying to survive.
As much as I disagree with CPGB on transgender issues, I can't think of a single bourgeois religious institution that has consistently good analysis of imperialism, which is at the moment the principal contradiction in the world.
My understanding of their position on transgender is that it's based on concern for what they see as men in women's spaces, as well as the notion that transgender is anti-materialist, liberal and metaphysical. Their position is wrongheaded but not religious. Ultimately, trans rights are human rights, some of our best comrades are trans, and CPGB must come to recognize this.
The problem is that it’s not a political issue. It’s human rights. So something like this isn’t a ‘ohh but atleast they have good analyses’, it’s a yes or no solely depending on this question. When I go to see if I support something, the first thing I do is search ‘X organisation lgbtq rights’ because I can’t support something if it doesn’t support my right to live life safely and normally.
But this is just for me, you can think what you think.
I try to keep in mind that Mao allied with the Kuomintang even after they'd conducted a war of extermination against the communists. It was worth it to chase out the Japanese and achieve national liberation. The CPGB is of course hardly as bad as the Kuomintang despite their regressive gender views, but it's a good reminder of the importance of tactical alliances.
Something an impressive amount of ultras seem to forget.
