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)

Sickens me how many people in the west have a positive view of Churchill and a negative view of Stalin. The latter I understand the propaganda is stronger but the former, nothing is really obscured about Churchill's beliefs and policy. You have to think a lot of people just appreciate that disgusting shit.
they don't actually teach shit about Churchill in US schools besides "badass dude who helped us beat the germans cuz he was so stubborn and cool", really not that surprising
I read entire thick biography of Churchill and none of the worst shit he did was there, it's completely sanitized to the point the worst accusations against him in that book was that he fucked up the Gallipoli and that he was crass boor (but funny amrite). Author even made him some kind of humanitarian for the perfunctory critique of British atrocities in Sudan he wrote to newspaper as young officer participating in those atrocities.
In the meantime every biography of Stalin is full of phrases like "Bloody tyrant" or "Virtuoso of lies" starting right on the cover.
It's less of an intentional obscuration and more that he's generally positively portrayed, and stuff like this is just never brought up and left to die silently, like all the declassified CIA stuff, at least in my experience.
