Do you think nothing has changed in an entire decade?

Presumably “The Worldview and Philosophical Methodology of Marxism-Leninism”

Very interesting, I should read it sometime (aka never, as if I am currently reading anything)

To my knowledge, the DPRK is the only socialist country that has implemented direct elections at all levels. Neither the Soviet Union (in its time) nor China have embraced a complete system of direct elections

Since it is only a short excerpt, there may be some context missing. Or I may be misinterpreting it, I am putting particular importance on “complete,” there is some thing that the USSR didn’t do that makes him consider it not complete? But it seems to me to be incorrect, the soviets did have direct elections after the 1936 constitution?

Instead of a Congress of delegates electing an Executive Committee, the supreme authority of every territory in the U.S.S.R. will now be a directly elected Supreme Soviet or Council. The citizens will directly elect their deputies not only to the local Soviet, but to the provincial and district Soviets, to the Supreme Council of their Republic, and to the Supreme Council of the U.S.S.R., which will replace the Congress of Soviets and the Central Executive Committee

Since I was twenty-one in 1889, I have in theory followed the voting plan strongly advocated by Sidney Lens in The Nation of August 4, i.e., voting for a third party even when its chances were hopeless, if the main parties were unsatisfactory; or, in absence of a third choice, voting for the lesser of two evils

That second image with the open hand is… slightly gross. Maybe change it?

You cannot take that “support” out of the context of the decisions made by communists. Without the efforts made in “Mao-era” china, agriculture, industrialization, education, etc., the reform and opening up would likely have gone differently, china would probably look more like India and Brazil. And during (and after) reform and opening up, china actively steered the economy and set priorities, they continued to hold, as dessalines points out, the commanding heights of the economy, and used 5 year plans. So yes, you can say it was the “support” (capital) that came into china which made them richer, but only in context.

There’s nothing about socialism and central planning that makes it more corrupt than capitalism.

There is in that things that we call corrupt under socialism, is just normal business under capitalism.

The GDR coat of arms or the WPK emblem are nice variations

Quills have been used in a bunch of variations. Cogwheels too

sci-hub.se seems to be down? .su, .red, .box, and .ru are alternatives (that work for me, .st doesn’t).

There is also SciDB (but it can be much slower)

What distro are you on that lets you have both installed? E.g. Arch linux’s pipewire-pulse package conflicts with the pulseaudio package. Do you mean when will programs start using PW directly instead of having to use pw-pulse?

You may wish to place a link at the top of this to your new versions. Some external links to this specific version may exist, so people would be led to this (now) older version.

Also SUS is up

Reddit banned communists, so communist made a reddit alternative (lemmy.) Reddit then continued to ban comumunists, so they went to the communist reddit alternative. That’s why there are communists in the communist reddit alternative.

If you want an EPUB of it, there is a Comrade’s Library version of here: https://comlib.encryptionin.space/lib/epub/sus.epub

It hasn’t been published on the website because it should (… might never get done) be proofread.

I was looking at some old ReadFanon comments yesterday, and I was just reminded of this one

And for anyone else reading this who doesn’t know of the below essay. I think the paragraph that starts with “I’ve seen plenty of de facto vanguards emerge” leads into https://www.jofreeman.com/joreen/tyranny.htm

Actually, by this chart, seppos are those materially aligned with the hegemony, and she also uses usonians and americans.

It’s not quite as easily understood as statesian or usonian, but I quite like what Erika3sis uses: Seppo
