While Xi Jinping likely spends little time reading Marx’s “Grundrisse” or debating the labor theory of value with his comrades

this is such a stupid mischaracterization. xi literally has a doctorate in marxism from tsinghua university, he’s definitely read more of marx than the author of this bullshit. this whole thing reeks of having zero understanding of marxism or leninism.

I’m pretty sure that nobody with any actual understanding of Marxism or Leninism would be let anywhere close to writing articles in western media.

One time I was interviewed at a strike, they did not write that article

Same way we never hear about mass protests happening in western countries like France, while any protest in a place like China will get wall to wall coverage. Propaganda through selective reporting is very effective.

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.

Rules:

  • No bigotry, anti-communism, pro-imperialism or ultra-leftism (anti-AES)
  • We support indigenous liberation as the primary contradiction in settler colonies like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel
  • If you post an archived link (excluding archive.org), include the URL of the original article as well
  • Unless it’s an obvious shitpost, include relevant sources
  • For articles behind paywalls, try to include the text in the post
  • Mark all posts containing NSFW images as NSFW (including things like Nazi imagery)
