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.

See this GitHub page for a collection of sources about socialism, imperialism, and other relevant topics.

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.

What's the best way to read Gramsci in English? He's not on marxists.org and I've never found another way to read the prison notebooks for free. Buying isn't an option where I live.

[–] GrainEater@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I can't comment on the quality, but you can find translations of his prison notebooks on Anna's Archive

Das lied vom Kompromiss by Ernst Busch is a goofy ass song.

Lol, yes it is, i bet people who don't speak German and try to read a translation are very confused. But it's still frighteningly accurate and applicable to present day German politics, just replace Ebert with Scholz. Written in 1919 but sounds like it's talking about the Groko of the 2010s or the Ampel.

What's the "most communist" image you have on your computer right now?

Mine is this picture of a golden statue of Oh Chi Minh surrounded by gold star on red and hammer and sickle flags:

I’m on my phone currently but probably the flag of the Spartacus League

[–] KrupskayaPraxis@lemmygrad.ml 18 points 1 week ago

I don't have that many communist images on my computer. This is the most communist one I could find

[–] dosuno@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 1 week ago

I'd say this is the best I've got.

[–] Commiejones@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

after a short look this is the best I have.

[–] cfgaussian@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Or maybe this one:

[–] o_d@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 1 week ago

Not an image, but the first communist related media that I found when scrolling through my phone gallery

Welcome comrade, and good luck!

[–] honeyontoast@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 1 week ago

Hey everyone, I'm also new so thank you for having me!

There's a crazy amount of learning when you accept that capitalism doesn't hold the answers. It's overwhelming at times, but we must remember that we deserve better and keep going.

[–] Oppo@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 1 week ago (5 children)

I hope you all have a nice week :D

I see hundreds of people every day and as soon as the weather drops to 10-15 degrees it is a non stop infection risk. Fucking sucks to get sick on a regular basis because of it.

[–] stink@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 week ago

Zinc help, but it must be taken as a preventative measure

So do y'all think the Republican (and to an extent Democratic) politicians are actual Christians or is it just a tool to relate to the masses? Like, do you think they really believe in God and whatever?

[–] Commiejones@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

There are probaly like one or two true believers. There are a few who believe in god and have chosen conciously to be on the devils side. and there are a bunch that just cynically use it as rhetoric.

[–] pyromaiden@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 6 days ago

As a collective whole? Con artists who don't believe a word they preach.

As specific individuals? Varies; some are true believers that genuinely think they're abiding by the will of God, some are frauds who just tell people what they want to hear, some really believe but are ignorant hypocrites who can't see it.

The parties as parties are charlatans but the individual members of those parties are understandably far more diverse.

[–] Cowbee@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 week ago

Bit of A, bit of B. When it's such a useful tool for hegemony, even the "true believers" end up swept by that too. They mutually reinforce each other and form a "politician's Christianity."

Already made a post in the freechat community, but want to get some thoughts here as well. I’m currently going through the Prolewiki reading list for beginners, after I finish it I would love to read up on the Russian revolution. Not looking for a massive tome, but something in between being general but not overly specific and dense that I can’t get through in let’s say a month or 2. Thanks!

[–] tendentious@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 6 days ago

Red Star over the 3rd World by Vijay Prashad? Might or might not be what your looking for but I think its worth a read. Don't know if you can get it for free though.
