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)

Blowing my mind that the yanks are still trying to escalate things with Russia AND want to start a hot war with China at the same time. It really feels like they've just completely lost it and don't care if billions of people die as long as they can squeeze a tiny bit of extra profit out of the MIC.
Since the conflicts are not anywhere near their mainland, they don't give a single fuck. And let's be honest, they do not care about the Taiwanese, they are more than happy to sacrifice them for a quick buck.
This. I've talked about it before and agree wholeheartedly. This is why brits put so much emphasis on "The Blitz", despite nazi mass bombing pretty much everyone (Guernica, Stalingrad). This is also why yanks put so much emphasis on Pearl Harbour, despite, well, everything else.
Because it truly frightens them. War is always "overseas". Somewhere else. It's also why they got so spooked by those sillies in the Capitol - they smelled the smoke at home.
Some empires like Rome go out like that, since warfare is the only way they can secure more surplus, their internal carrying capacity being reached. Britain and the US will probably also start doing the same thing as neocolonialism unravels.
Was there a time that they were not like this?
Also you forgot about the extra profits of non MIC companies which is quite a lot too.
True, but they've always seemed to understand that nuclear war is bad for profits, up until now at least.
Even more crazy is that it's so bloody obvious now that they will either 1) lose or 2) mutual nuclear annihilation. There is no scenario where America and its vassals win.
I'm wonder if they realise this, or if they are so far gone that they honestly think they can win. "Yeah, we can win a war with China, the country that manufactures like 50% of all the materiel we use in our weapons and war machines, nothing could wrong if we fought them."
