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)

no. greek people have existed, a greek state was a new creation specifically in the mould of 19th century european nationalism. the only thing they'd actually be guilty of on this chart is the internal genocide of minorities that is part-and-parcel to the national project.
in any case there's no political lineage and barely even a linguistic relationship from what i'm assuming your ancient events are, and the modern state. transcontinental african slave trade =/= someone being in a state of slavery on the african continent at any time in the past.
sorry to be a pedant but the "slavery was in africa before" is a popular mystification from racists trying to equivocate the modern european crimes.
