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:
Welcome again to everybody. Make yourself at home. In the time-honoured tradition of our group, here is the weekly discussion thread.

I'm working on a joke:
Liberals fear Fascists and Communist. Fascists have no fear of Liberals but Communist are their worst nightmare. Communists only fear other Communists.
One of the ugliest traits of war is that masses of otherwise decent human beings, predominantly of the same class and age, are ordered to kill each other in the field by individuals of a different class and age sitting comfortably in remote headquarters or sheltered conference rooms. The larger group is by far the younger, more naïve, and more idealistic; its members have much more to lose in their confrontation with a so-called “enemy” than the rarefied élite sending them on their way.
Enemies in the field always have more in common with one another than they do with the élites on either side. One Japanese survivor of Iwo Jima recalled participating in the shooting of an American who fell from a cliff and landed near his position. Inside the fallen Marine’s pocket were pictures of his family, including one of a little boy and another of a baby. And he painfully recollected:
When I saw those pictures it reminded me of my daughter who was just born when I came to Iwo. And tears just came streaming down my face. And then I realized that both the American and Japanese soldiers were all suffering the same kinds of hardships. You know, losing of families and missing our loved ones back home.⁸

Imagine being such a shit leader that fans of the two most bitter rivals in your country decide they have to take up arms together against you

My abusive ableist victim of communism family is still having an outburst and complaining that other people did not listen to them when the actual problem are their poor communication practices. I will not specify the identity of my family. However, I can note their vague instructions, their frequent repetition of redundant information that the listener always know, their refusal to allow the listener to quickly stop what they are doing to properly listen to what they are suddenly saying, and the refusal to adjust for environmental noice level or distance from listener. To worsen their miscommunication, they have the impatience to avoid proper communication, their tendency to jump to conclusion, and their subborn belief that other people are disobeying or not listening to them when the actual problem is their constant miscommunication.
Can I be "Darkestseid"?
sure why not. 🤭
We have this orthodox Jewish district in my city which I ride my bike through every morning to go to work. Today some dude was riding in front of me when a Jewish guy in a car drove towards us. These are narrow streets so there was little space.
Anyway the dude on the bike went off against the car, screaming: 'fucking JEW, fucking UNTERMENSCH' and I was like: what the actual fuck man.
I caught up to him at a traffick light and asked him: 'what the fuck did you just say? Untermensch?' and he started stuttering. I asked him if he knew what we do with Nazi fucks around here and he quickly rode away. Not that I have any idea what I meant with that either but still.
Baffles my mind how you can be so confidently Nazi outside.
Switzerland or Germany? (Dont have to answer, just curious)
Belgium actually
I asked him if he knew what we do with Nazi fucks around here and he quickly rode away.
Fucking based. The phrasing of "what we do around here" will really fuck with him. It makes it sound like the entire community is anti-fascist and that anyone with 2 brain cells should know that.

I was gifted a big zinc tub for my balcony garden this weekend and I immediately went out to buy some native pollinator plants. I got some figwort, cowslip, ferns, wild garlic and endangered common bluebell. I hope it will work out and that the bees and the beetles and the wasps and the butterflies find their way to it.
One of our party officials in the European Council quit our party and will continue as independent. He gives no reason himself but rumours has it that it is about money. Every one of our officials needs to give a part of their governments wage (which is enormous) back to the party so that they only receive an average wage as to not lose touch with the people. Guess he wanted everything.
It sucks that people like him can just take a seat, instead of giving it to someone else in the party.
Major freakout going on over at r/ukraine right now
Busy day in Langley
Is it worth checking out?
For about two minutes. Anything more risks lethal brain cell damage.
Though it's interesting to see a weird version of the "stab-in-the-back" myth being prepared.
Probably not. Same shit, different cope.
I hope you all have a nice week :D

removing this kind of watermark should be trivial now with generative so-called AI, right
My Twitter FYP Page is Riddled with Salafist HTS Shit, and Literal Advocate for Killing alawites
Use Bluesky instead. It's lib, but it's just lib, and there's an increasing amount of leftists and Marxists there.
Granted, now they've started allowing in conservatives.

You ever go through old bookmarks and realize how many websites you saved don't exist anymore?
I have a Start Page that my browser defaults to with Quick Links and I feel this.
I can't help myself but watch conservative slop from youtube like that sam seder vs 20 conservstives video, its so entertaining. One dude claims goverment agencies got tax cuts (yes you read that right) for doing DEI hires lmao.
Also there was a straight up nazi making some actually coherent points like "america should have a coherent culture, we must embrace xenophobic nationalism its in our roots" to which i kinda agree? She is not lying there. I just dislike when Iibs talk about america being a mixture of many different cultures due to immigration and its what makes america great yare yare, the US is host to the worlds petitbourgeoisie and bourgeoisie its not a thing to be proud of.
yare yare
Jotaro approves

I need to heal myself after a brief drama over instance shutdowns and handovers
Took a massive break from work and organising due to burnout. Couldn't sleep at all at night. Now I'm back to work and as soon as I get home all I think of is getting going straight to bed.
I'm proud to present my new acquisition, a Likebook Mars!
I was originally going to buy one similar to this new from AliExpress but the budget got out of hand so I got this one second hand for like half the price. It's a rare find tbh, not many 7.8" Android ereaders around
How much? Looks awesome and i kinda want to move away from my pocketbook, its starting to malfunction.
It cost me €120
What’s everyone’s thought in this little site I have had bookmarked for a while? Short little daily left theory readings.
To be honest, it seems to be preaching to the choir about authoritarianism and the nature of an to anti-authoritarianism. Like, as MLs, we know this stuff. It's not really persuasive or "brave" to say, let's say, "politicians corrupt" for the millionth time, for example.
