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.

Isn't it interesting how libs and cons are both fine with the romantic idea of revolution until someone actually seriously suggests doing something drastic? Y'know, in minecraft?

The real kicker is that if an even nominally left-wing movement used violence they would be gutted to the average person in the media...and their own "leftists" would quickly prostrate and show their belly to distance themselves and prove their loyalty to bourgeois civility.

I fear the fascists or the Empire will have to begin an all out war before we are "allowed" to act in self defense, and even then the demonization will continue and affect many more than it should.

And the worst thing is? They have learned from the mistakes, and they now know to levy violence against us at a slow but steady rate. A shooting here, an execution there, a disappearance or domestic sanction or blacklisting here or there. A comfortable, expected amount of police violence. Always making sure to never go to the absurdly extreme lengths it would take to actually shake the sleepy Americans.

The article starts from the unbelievable two consecutive good takes from Orwell of all people.

What good is peacefully marching if fascists can come to a protest, gun down people and leave with impunity?

Which, as I recall, is a thing that happened in 2020. A man walked up to protesters and started unloading a pistol. Wasn't in the news more than a day.

in the US people also regularly run over protestors with their cars and get away without punishment because "I was scared"
