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.

See this GitHub page for a collection of sources about socialism, imperialism, and other relevant topics.

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.

omg I was just on r/neoliberal for some reason and there were comments (with upvotes) stating that USA does not coerce its allies, and I'm struggling to think of how someone could think that?

btw does this sound too rude? I've noticed a tendency among some people (I'm not sure who) to assume intent behind a question, and/or assume that the asker already knows the answer? I don't want people to think that tho

The rudeness is completely acceptable because you are talking about redditors. Making comments about frog marching redditors over the edge of a coal mine shaft is an acceptable level of rudeness.

The question did seem to suggest that it had an obvious answer. "Ignorance, liberalism, foolishness, or because they are cia sponsored bots"

Do the CIA really sponsor Reddit bots :O ? Bots didn't even come to mind

The CIA doesn't just sponsor them, they run them.

Well, your original comment didn't come across like it was even a question, and likely didn't need the question mark. So I didn't think it came off as rude at all. If it was supposed to be a question, what were you asking?

How do people think USA doesn't coerce its allies? I'm really confused because this exact scenario has happened multiple times in the news in the last year.

How do people believe what the media and educational institutions tell them? That is the function of propaganda and indoctrination.
