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)

This reminds me of that Friendlyjordies documentary from last year about West Papua, where his team identified the drones used in the 2021 Kiwirok bombings as the Ziyan Blowfish A3 model โ meaning that China was among the countries arming Indonesia's genocidal campaign.
China has apparently earlier this year imposed greater restrictions on the export of unmanned drones that may be used for military purposes, but the fact that this West Papua situation happened at all and so recently is just super fucked. Pointing out how China's role in that conflict is obviously more nuanced and not at all identical to what the imperial core is doing in the region, or writing a dissertation about how the export of military equipment fits into the broader role of exports within the Chinese model for building socialism... That's not exactly going to bring back all the people killed by Chinese drones in West Papua, you know?
As always, critical support must remain critical, and the worst thing about capitalism is that it forces one to exist within a context. There's a lot more that can be said about AES being shitty about Palestine and/or weapons exports, it has a long history, but it's not something I'm an expert on, either.
