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.

it seems fair that people who had to put in a lot more work to get to a position where they can do their jobs should be rewarded more.

This is true. However, the clarity of this statement gets muddied with the disparity in privilege and opportunity.

An individual born into wealth has to put effort into passing medical school, while an individual born into poverty has to put the same amount of effort into just surviving and still may never be able to afford medical school.

And yet the latter may have had a prodigious talent for medicine that will never be uncovered.
