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.

I've been in Berlin the last few days, it's been really interesting.
There's the expected anti-communism literally everywhere (honestly even more than I expected). But there's also some gems to be found, and I didn't even make it to any of the Soviet or DDR memorials or locations. What gets me the most is the appropriation of communist landmarks and memorials for capitalist/fascist purposes.
I did find a really cool picture folder of the rebuilding of East Berlin at a flea market, as well as a book of speeches from a 1983 SED conference which I'll share here when I have a chance. There's also a few museum exhibitions now talking about German colonialism which positively surprised me.
Berlin is a fun albeit very liberal minded city. Which is sad given its history.
If you ever get the chance, visit Copenhagen, which I expected to be very liberal only to be bombardeert with communist symbols everywhere.
WTF. I guess I haven't been in Copenhagen enough.
Tomorrow I'll be on Copenhagen airport ๐
Berlin is like the center of performance lib politics, wannabe artsy failsons and is gentrified to absolutely cater to rich tiktok influencer anglophones, Its like a world of its own.
