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.
If you haven't already found it, this GitHub page is an excellent collection of sources about socialism, imperialism, and other relevant topics, made by @dessalines and others.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a private Matrix room. See this thread for more information.

I'm no expert, but in my opinion the middle class is really defined by owning your home but still working for a wage.
They're definitely in it. But it's nebulous.
Do you know of Novara Media? Aaron Bastani criticised a Telegraph(?) story recently. The story got the main narrative right: that something needs to be done about interest rates because it'll hit 'homeowners' with mortgages.
But it used an example of some tit (apologies to all tits out there, bird-like and mammal-like for the negative metaphor) who was crying that they took out a variable rate on £1.something million on a £6m property – having put down a £1.7m deposit. Boo fucking who.
His point was that this homeowner wasn't really representative of the middle class, but the paper ran with that idea.
