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.
Rules:
- No ableism, racism, misogyny, transphobia, etc.
- No being pro-Amerikkka
- No being an electoralist or a lib (of course)
- Moderator discretion
- This community is explicitly pro-AES
- No dogmatism/idealism (Trotskyism, Gonzaloism, Hoxhaism, anarchism, etc.)
- Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively

Yeah, there was some point to it back in Aristotle's day, but you can tell how much someone doesn't know about logic from the degree to which they lean on pat lists of informal fallacies. Formal fallacies, as in those produced by incorrect inference in classical logic (or an argument that can be accurately reduced to classical logic), are infinite in a similar way to how "wrong answers to math equations" is an infinite category. "Informal fallacies" are a catalogue of rhetorical tricks and cognitive biases that it is good to be aware of but which don't have very much to do with logic as a field.
Exactly. If you know how logic works -- how we human beings think -- you will be able to easily indentify arguments which don't work.
