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.
Serious posts can be posted here and/or in /c/GenZhou.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information.
Rules:
- This community is explicitly pro-AES (China, Cuba, the DPRK, Laos and Vietnam)
- No ableism, racism, misogyny, transphobia, etc.
- No pro-imperialists, liberals or electoralists
- No dogmatism/idealism (Trotskyism, Gonzaloism, Hoxhaism, anarchism, etc.)
- Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively

Yeah, I didn't mean "prominent" as in wealthy or socially highly regarded but just in how they are a notable fixture of that society. It's very rare to read a Byzantine source that doesn't mention Varangians and eunuchs at least once, and yet those "successors to Rome" in Western Europe don't know much about either. As soon as things stop being relevant to the Normans, Westerner pop historians just forget about it.
