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

No, it wasn’t the worst famine in history, and Mao didn’t personally cause it. China had horrible famines every few years for Millennia, the fact that it happened once under socialism can’t be attributed to socialism. China hasn’t had any famine since, so historically Socialism has done a lot to end famine.
Imagine a machine that routinely breaks down. You take over maintenance for it, it breaks once more, then under your care never again. The story is that you finally fixed the machine, not that it broke down for the 100th time at the start of your tenure.
