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.

I'm sure Palestine played a big role in this

If we could have a leftist party with the social policies of Die Linke and the foreign policy of BSW, i would be so happy...oh wait, we do have it, it's called the DKP. Only one problem: they weren't allowed on the fucking ballot in this election! So much for "free and fair elections" in this "democracy"...

Were they not allowed? I thought it was a tactical decision on their part since gathering the signatures to get accepted would've taken too much resources for too little reward. In any case, still undemocratic that you have to get enough signatures be eligible.

The federal government has been trying to go after DKP for a long time now. They tried pulling some legalistic crap to exclude them from running before under the pretext that they didn't jump through whatever bureaucratic hoops. Whatever the reason this time, it is clear that the DKP is in the crosshairs of the bourgeois state, as they and every other Marxist party are anyway under observation by the state as "left-wing extremists". Any party that declares that they want a different economic system than the free market and any other political system than the current one gets put on a list and surveilled, and all kinds of bureaucratic and legal barriers get thrown in their way to make life difficult for them.
