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. 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

Uh... not sure, you're going to have to explain the reference to me, comrade.
Me being a snarky USAi'ian mostly.
But yeah, the first "town" in the video game Final Fantasy 7 is big city named Midgar. At a few points you get a sky eye view of the city and its set up pretty much like that painting. A huge power plant in the center, sky rise towers surrounding it built on top of various levels of older constructions with slums on the bottom.
Final Fantasy 7 is a game about how capitalism and industrialization is killing the planet and it features a heavily industrialized city, called Midgar, where the wealthy live in the sunshine on a plate that is elevated above the heavily polutted slums, where everyone else lives without ever seeing the sun.
The painting is quite reminiscent of the asthetics of Midgar.
