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.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information.

This type of shit happens every single time something is privatized
Everywhere I look I see austerity, and every time I think of Clara Mattei's book "The Capital Order: How Economists Invented Austerity and Paved the Way to Fascism"
Here's a nice appearance on the Richard Wolff podcast that she did for those interested
I've been meaning to read that. I listened to an interview she gave and it was great.
I actually haven't read it (hehe) but the interviews that I've watched from the author have me excited to start it, I'm just working on finishing my Harvey's "Anti-capitalist Chronicles" with the little free time I have to read these days 😩
Even the bits and blurbs from her interviews live rent-free in my head, largely because there is massive austerity taking place in (and ramping up) throughout Canada, the US, and elsewhere. It seems wickedly timely
