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.

Lol I started listening to the audible version of the Spanish translation of capital and returned it within about half an hour. I thought the whole thing had been rewritten. Maybe it was only the editor's intro after all.
This preface is seriously like almost a third of the total length of the text. I subjected myself to way too much of it hoping it would get better before just skipping it. I think all the explicitly Marxist texts have something like this going on; never once did I see stuff like this in Proudhon or Kropotkin.
I've noticed that. It also makes people look at the book and think, nah, that'll be too heavy for me. When really it's a short book. Even Capital is a lot shorter if you ignore all the extras (except Marx and Engels' prefaces and postfaces as they're quite useful).
