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.
Rules:
- No bigotry, anti-communism, pro-imperialism or ultra-leftism (anti-AES anarchism, Gonzaloism, etc.)
- 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
- Mark all posts containing NSFW images as NSFW (including things like Nazi imagery)

Besides the climate catastrophe -- which I'm with you in hoping humanity finds a way to mitigate -- there's also the problem of building India into a modern advanced industrial economy that can replace China. China's industrialization is rightly seen by the rest of the world as a kind of miracle, made possible (though western countries hate to admit it) by the fact of its being a Marxist-Leninist state. Specifically, land reform, political unity, the government's ability to mobilize the masses, and a theoretical framework which understands the role of capitalism in the context of Chinese and world history have been the cornerstones of China's economic success. The west likes to boast about how capitalist investment "raised" China to what it is today, but the fact is that no other government could have done with that investment what China did. Certainly Modi's government does not have the power, ability, or necessary base among the people to achieve what Mao, Deng, and Xi have done.
