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
- 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
- For articles behind paywalls, try to include the text in the post
- Mark all posts containing NSFW images as NSFW (including things like Nazi imagery)

Agitation and education are examples of praxis one can do without an organization. Ideally they should put people on the path to organizing, or directly be part of an organization effort, but even in isolation they at least sow the seeds for people to move in the right direction.
Absolutely, every "isolated" action is not isolated, what we share with people around us can be shared by people around them. In terms of the subjective conditions for a revolution, this is necessary, and natural even. After all, we are communists in our personal lives as well.
In terms of the objective conditions for a revolution, it all boils down to organization up until the organization is able to supersede the organization of the bourgeois state. So, for revolutionary praxis, there's no other method.
I say this not condemning anyone for not organizing, there could be several reasons one chooses not to. I'm not organized in a party, for instance, after I broke with PCB in 2021. But I practice organization in parts of my life, such as on ProleWiki, basically only bureaucratically managing stuff. This does not count as revolutionary praxis, in my opinion, even, if there's a revolutionary purpose.
I have a group with only three people, me, another commie and a left-leaning sympathizer. We created an informal WhatsApp group simply to discuss about these subjects. We are thinking about adding more people. If I'm able to convince the group to study Marxism together, and create a Marxist group, we could perhaps do interesting things in terms of revolutionary praxis, but we're only engaging here and then, it's nothing serious, so it's not even close to that.
This is what I think in terms of revolutionary praxis. Organization is a survival tactic of working people, and we should not be restricted to currently existing parties, nor be afraid to form organizationо of our own to fight for certain immediate issues. This is the only and true revolutionary praxis, everything outside of this is a form of deviation.
