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

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
The mosque in my city that got send a letter with a bullet in it the other day just received another one and it shocks me to see how little people care.
In a world where antisemitism holds so much weight, islamophobia apparently doesn't matter at all.
(yeah I know that real bigotry against jews barely matters too and that the word has been coopted by zionists)
Honestly, as a Turk, growing up after 9/11, it was difficult...
I think I'm going to start using Peertube and even put original content on there for the sake of archival.
Try the Tankietube instance, it's administrated by tankietanuki and there's a lot of us on it.
Oho, I shall.
I have wanted to put original content on PeerTube as well, but it's hard with my computer situation and being busy all the time. I hope to see more comrades posting content on alternative platforms, especially exclusively. I'm worried about loss of educational digital media on private platforms like YouTube and Reddit as enshittification continues. I'm also worried about archive.org. I depend on it greatly. I hope we archive and preserve media as much as possible on other platforms before we inevitably lose them.
Fuck, I'm so worried about archive.org, you have no idea...
I have so much fun lurking in the european instance where they pretend to be anti-american but do not acknowledge they are their vassals.
That sounds maddening.
I'm over-stimulated now, but it may be winding down.
How does one prevent over-stimulation?
I've decided to stop taking so many vitamins at once, since that may cause this (and cause brain fog too)
So in my Dutch hometown there will be an anti migration protest at which some far right leaders will join. It's near the city hall. A counter protest is expected.
My mom works at the city hall and she has to evacuate the building after 16h otherwise safety can't be properly guaranteed. Wild to think that my mom is now at danger from actual fascists.
Leave it to the 'concerned citizens' to do this protest and show up with Nazi flags
Something about this being in my hometown makes me absolutely furious. Get the fuck away you fucking wankers.
This is my 1000th comment on Lemmy and I think it's a good time to take a look back. It's already been 2.5 years, and although I haven't participated much, I feel I have started to learn a lot and grow politically thanks to Lemmygrad, Hexbear more recently, and a few comrades on lemmy.ml and other instances (even the occasional .world). 2 years ago I was very much a lib. Now I sometimes take the time to read through articles, made a list of books to read and bought a few, to my family and I. To reflect, time passes too quickly and I haven't read the tiny Engels book on my night stand. I'm lucky enough to not have a physically demanding job but at the end of the day I'm still exhausted and drained. I wish others in my branch could realize we are very much exploited, even though it is at different degrees. Another bothering point is that even the leftist of my friends has a hard time challenging the non stop propaganda we are fed, and it's depressing
This comment was a mess. Thank you Lemmygrad, keep it up, and for those who have the energy to explain basic things to liberals: yes, it matters
Well thank you for being here too 🫡
I used to work several physical demanding jobs, from a steel factory to carpentry to a warehouse dragging beer kegs for 12 hours a day but I have never been as fatigued as my current office job. That is not to say that office work is harder than back breaking work but I do feel like the toll it takes on your psyche and body gets underestimated a lot.
Working on an assembly line or fast food restaurant, I’d punch out and not give work another thought until I punched in. Working in the software industry, it’s seldom fully gone from my mind, even on the weekend.
Mood. I've worked warehouse shipping and receiving, car part assembly lines, food service, retail, computer/phone repair and help desk, IT support. None of these jobs bled into my personal life the way working software in the tech industry has. I'm cooked.
So a woman stabbed a man after a night out when the man started attacking her friend out in the street at night. The guy is now in a stable condition after fighting for his life for a few days.
The woman got arrested and might face attempted murder charges now. Fuck this world man.
I was thinking: maybe I'm whiny about the heat. And then I heard sirens because some dude around the corner collapsed and died. Send help.
Libs cry that china is imperialist because they give loans while the loans are literally used to repay IMF interests lmao
DPRK releases unpublished images of soldiers deployed in Kursk at an event for the visit of the Russian Minister of Culture.

Added progesterone to my hormone regimen & all I wanna do is sleep & cry. On the other hand I went to a trans pride event & it was fucking awesome
I used to take it before bed for that reason. But also, that only happened to me when I took it orally - something to do with the progesterone being metabolized into something else, IIRC. Could be worth looking at rectal administration or a cream.
Ohhh that's interesting, how did you feel otherwise?
Here's a pic of Man Utd player Onana posing with Ibrahim Traore for some reason

Absolutely scorching right now. And the stupid thing is that as soon as the sun is away the humidity ramps up to above 70 so you just lay the rest of the night sticking to whatever it is you're touching. Tomorrow will be even hotter.
Can't imagine being any further south where it is even hotter. Though I had to be in the middle of the city at the hottest time of the day today so I got to experience the radiating concrete. Sweating away at the commie meeting.
A new law was implemented here today that will see capital gains taxed at a higher percentage (only slightly so). It will be free of tax until a 10k profit is reached.
Now, people are swarming to the comments online saying this will just target the 'middle class good intentions father'.
I hope these people get a reality check soon. 10k in profits (FROM INVESTING!!!! PER YEAR!!!!) is not middle class.
Middle class ain’t nothin’ but a vibe 🤷 10K is about what you’d get if you’ve got ~150K socked away in the public stock & bond market. White collar workers and the petite bourgeoisie often have that much accumulated before they reach middle age.
Alright.. Be Honest Comrades..
I dont Trust Zohran.. Yeah...Yeah He Make Right-wingers Meltdown..
I just Hope He's Not AOC 2.0
The fact that he is running as a dem is a red flag. They are using him to rehabilitate the dem brand. Participation in bourgeois elections only helps the cause if it is done under the banner of communism. He's a sheepdog rounding up the "progressive" liberals who are disgusted by the support for the genocide.
He is the dem's way of saying "I'm sorry baby. I've changed. I'll never hit you again. Please take me back"
I think Mamdani the idea is infinitely more valuable than Mamdani the man - no matter how good Mamdani the man turns out to be. The fact that Zionists across the aisle decided to make this a referendum on """"anti-semitism""" (read: anti-Zionism) only to get utterly humiliated was not only hilarious, but serves as proof of the popularity of the pro-Palestine movement to all the holdover liberals who made excuses for Biden / Harris by saying, "but Palestine isn't popular! They'd be committing political suicide!" - now it's clear that it is political suicide not to support Palestine. Ditto for trans rights, and also just socialism in general - like, we've heard Democrats say they can't support trans rights because they'll lose votes over it, and then Mamdani has a blowout victory after going out promising to give 65 million to healthcare for trans kids.
So if nothing else, I feel like Mamdani is a good avenue through which to radicalize liberals against Democrats. You've got a bunch of people looking at Mamdani and realizing that better things are possible... and if Mamdani ends up getting ratfucked by the Democrats or just disappoints, it'll be very easy to welcome them into the fold.
Also, all of the Islamophobic attacks on Mamdani by right wingers and fellow Democrats alike have got liberals I wouldn't normally so much as acknowledge calling for the resignation of Hakeem Jeffries. If nothing else, the man is a golden opportunity for establishment Democrats to end their political careers.
in a vacuum he seems like a great guy but it's hardly relevant in the grand scheme of things. at best he is going to implement policies that marginally improve NYC people's lives, which is something i could hardly care about. heck even if lenin himself were to become mayor, it straight up doesn't matter, the imperial core won't be reformed through liberal democracy.
He's still a politician in the Third Reich and nowhere near a revolutionary marxist that some people make him out to be. When the other candidates are genocidal maniacs you can see the 'maybe let's not do that' candidate as a good guy but ultimately we need much more than what Zohran is.
We'll see what he turns out to be. Hopefully the comrades in the NY area use this as a way to get in touch with more people.
I hope you all have a nice week :D
For this year I decided to grow legumes on my city balcony and I had the first harvest of the year this weekend. I picked 50 grams of legumes from the plant and there was at least 2-3 times as much coming up for the next round. It's fun to see what you can do with such limited space. I also grow strawberries, lettuce, different tea herbs, thyme, spinach, radish, peppers, basil and some other herbs.
