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

This is so dumb. You can't "coerce" someone to do work at this very high level -- either they have the aptitude and some kind of desire for it, or they fail. It's like the claim I've run into in musical circles that David Oistrakh was only a great musician because the Soviet authorities put a gun to his head. You simply don't produce real competence in a skilled profession this way.
And, in light of some recent lib incursions (and resulting discussions) here on the 'grad: it's funny that libs will in all cases defend prostitution as a "free choice" and yet cry bloody hell when it come to women being given the education and opportunity to become scientists, academics, etc. Almost as if they are the ones who really don't view women as full human beings.
Capitalism = freedom
Socialism = coercion
This is true in all cases regardless of how good or bad something a system does to people is.
Literally.
Homeless in California? Personal choice.
Housed in Havana? Forced into it.
