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)

Such is western liberalism; the only correct action is to be subjugated under imperialist rule. Only then will you deserve pity, and pity is all you’ll get.
This is the level of pacifism the west gets on whenever anyone physically resists genocide:
GANDHI ACTUALLY FUCKING SAID THAT, WHAT THE FUCK!?!?"
It wouldn’t be surprising since he’s the same guy that went on hunger strikes whenever his people would violently oppose the British.
The Western media always says that he was a peaceful man and we should be like him. When I became a Marxist, I started to see his methods as ineffective but Jesus. Fucking. Christ. I never knew he was that bad.
This is why libs revere Gandhi while villainizing Mao, Castro and Sankara.
Becoming a Marxist shows you that Gandhi was a villain that is propped up by the west in the name of non-violence
Weirdly, Gandhi supported violence when he volunteered Indian men to fight for the British military in Africa.
Make your libs read How to Blow Up a Pipeline, which really should be called “Why Nonviolence Is Shit and Has Never Worked”
Reading about history was my road to Marxism.
Reading the history of India's decolonization and the use of violent opposition, in particular, was a major moment for me.
When I first saw this quote, it really put into perspective why non-violence is held as the only option by the hegemon.
wait until you hear about his exploitation of children cw: CSA lol
This is idealism on steroids, jfc what a complete idiot.
He wasn't the only prominent figure in the Indian Independence movement, but there's a few reasons why he's the most romanticized in western historiography.
Yeah, Gandhi is a shithead propped up because the liberal view if passive submission to state violence is politically useful for maintaining control. The British really gave up in India because Gandhi said he was no longer going to tell the armed factions not to fight, and the Brits decided they couldn't afford to fight a real rebellion.
