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.
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
- For articles behind paywalls, try to include the text in the post
- Mark all posts containing NSFW images as NSFW (including things like Nazi imagery)

One thing that falls apart quickly about free market fundamentalists is that how is a small producer supposed to know the quality of a part, say ball bearings, without the help of an institituion that standarizes ball bearings? The $5 bearing looks, feels and weights exactly the same as a $50 bearing. Are we supposed to have specialized equipment to figure out the ± tolerances of each thing we buy? Lol, i am all for free trade but regulation is needed to figure out quality because the price tag is a terrible indicator of quality. I've had expensive bearings fail quickly while the cheapest ones manage to last quite longer, i've opened expensive sealed bearings only to find out there is no grease packed inside them.
