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.

Are you stuck in the mirror world again?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Have you tried throwing a brick at the mirror?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

I had a very productive conversation with the mirror and we resolved our issues 👍

Is it just me, or has there been an uptick in anticommunists barging in here lately?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

There's definitely a bit more hostile behavior lately. There's some effort you have to take to apply but anyone with and intentions can write a nice sounding story of course. Just report them and we'll ban them 🤷

I applied for a new job yesterday and got an interview invitation today! I've been procrastinating applying for a new job for months because I don't have formal qualifications and writing applications makes me anxious so I'm extra excited!

I learned that I don't need wait around in a miserable company just cause I don't feel so confident about my chances.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Don't worry you are gonna nail this interview and they will hire on the spot 💪

Spent the weekend in the psych ward voluntarily, just to be safe. Now towards the end of the week, I'll prolly get my first TMS and then I can be out once and for all. See you next Monday! Have a great week, I think I'll go to the movies tomorrow, it's not a fun place guys..

I have to say, being in China and away from constantly having to hear pro-imperialist and extremely reactionary nonsense is extremely refreshing. The main downside is that a lot of people have quite... feudal(?) thoughts about marriage.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

On the other hand, their understanding of Marxism-Leninism is extremely advanced -- I talked to someone who teaches his fellow members of the 九三学社 (Sept 3 Society) how to apply Marxism-Leninism, dialectical materialism, MZT, etc to scientific and medical work.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

The PRC has abolished feudalism 2 generations or so ago so it can’t be helped I guess

I have an exam for my job this week. Mostly law related stuff. Lots of information, even more exceptions to each rule. I think I'll do fine.

Nothing else is planned for this week. We'll see how things go.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Or, well, I do have something planned. I'm going to see my doctor and have him check my back. Something feels quite odd in there, like a weird stiffness that sometimes hurts and sometimes feels like a lump or something. Stoic as I am most of the time I do feel a bit scared to be honest. It's probably nothing, I am a young and fit guy after all. But still, fingers crossed.

You might just need a sports massage!

Wish you the best, comrade. When you get in be sure to take a big ole dump on company time

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

Thanks. I work at the Union actually, so no big bad capitalist boss to rip off. But I could still do it for solidarity's sake lol.

I just met someone who has dined with fuckin Fidel Castro

Today we're supposed to turn in platforming essays on patriarchy and the role we've played in continuing it. I'm hoping that mine doesn't suck too bad even though I was always pretty good at writing essays, it just feels different being read by your comrades versus an institution.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

is the essay for a study group in your commune?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

We do critique at our weekly meetings but halfway through the year we all get together to choose an essay topic, we write the essays and present them at our end of year platforming. With weekly critique we usually end up addressing the things we encounter in our day-to-day exchanges but the purpose of the platforming essays is to improve ourselves in more specific aspects that don't come up in our day-to-day.

Been trying to buy a second hand cd boom box, but couldn't find one at all the locations I looked. So decided I'm going to buy a new one.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It does :3

Does anyone know if there’s an English Al Mayadeen RSS feed?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

I have not been able to find one. Tehran Times won't load either. General theme with Regimey stuff. Topwar and whatnot

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Has anyone here read Fresh Banana Leaves? I’m a couple chapters in and I’ve learned some, but mostly heard things better from others. It seems pretty repetitive and uses weird overly simplistic weird language. And [maybe this is my settler revisionism or something] but it seems to homogenize indigeneity a bit.
