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.

It's sad, but the same thing happened in Brazil. What made the retirement reform win there was basically the lack of resistance of the organized left (since Dilma had been ousted and Lula was in prison), lack of politization of this matter by the same organized left, and the big politization on the right side of the politics (austerity and free market discourse was in a height).

I think the (actual) left needs to do a better job in doing agitprop work in social networks (including places like Lemmy), to improve politization in the matter, and then turning that politization into mobilization. It's hard to move around when you feel that you are alone, and you feel that the minimal thing you still have (your job) can be taken from you.
