My code are the lamps, the car is the internet code

Not really, and I say this being a communist myself. Capitalism just requires to extract the maximum profit from the capital investment, sometimes it leads to what you said, sometimes it leads to the opposite (e.g. no difference between i5 1st gen and i5 8th gen)

Funnily enough, I’m Spanish and the meme is somehow also accurate here?

“Grassroots organization raises $500k for the establishment”

I’m really sorry

Preface: I’m a cis guy, so my opinion may be very well invalid

I don’t understand why there aren’t more people arguing for this. Why on earth does a leftist community not instaban someone spewing transphobia, especially so if they’re on a position of power?

You’re enemies by ideology

As Marx and Lenin said in Chapter 7 of “Marxu no Leninu kotaku tokadimasai”: “uwu uwu uwu uwu uwu uwu uwu uwu transphobia is based uwu uwu uwu uwu uwu uwu”

Wow, this looks like an insanely good resource. Thank you, comrade!

I want to coin the term “Polandization” for the process in which decades of propaganda make countries in Eastern Europe invaded by Nazis and liberated by Soviets, hate communism and embrace fascism.

Thank you very much for the resources! Gonna give the libgen servers some work this evening!

How have I never heard of that? That sounds wonderful! Thank you!

Anytime! You’re very welcome!

I myself haven’t read much of the OGs, other than Socialism: Utopian and Scientific, Vol. 1 of Capital, Imperialism: a higher stage of capitalism, and the communist manifesto. I’ll proceed with a compilation of Kollontai’s manuscripts on feminism and revolution, and then follow that with Lenin’s State and Revolution.

Which of the classics can you recommend the most so far?

Not so much theory as a historical overview, but I’m finishing “Human rights in the soviet union” by Albert Szymanski, and it’s an extremely good book to learn about the progress the USSR brought to its many nationalities, to women, and to workers in general; it puts oppression into historical context and explains it in a much more academic and analytic way than “Stalin bad”… The book is extremely good (I skipped only the chapter about human rights in the USA since I’m European and frankly not interested).

Similarly, “Soviet democracy” by Pat Sloan is a first hand account by a teacher from England who moved to the USSR in the early 30s and after some years there, wrote a book about the way society works. Education, justice system, unions… It’s a bit through pink glasses, if you know what I mean, but it’s worth a read in my opinion.

If you’re into economics, “People’s republic of Walmart” delves into the history of economic planning, the historical arguments against it and why they don’t make sense, and how we could have much better societies if we had a democratically-planned economy with modern computing power and science. It falls a bit into the pitfall of anti-soviet propaganda, but it’s definitely worth a read in my opinion if you’re into the topic.

“How the worker’s parliaments saved the Cuban Revolution”, by Pedro Ross, goes into detail about a tremendous democratic effort carried out during the Periodo Especial in the 90s, after the dissolution of the USSR, the main trading partner of Cuba. It shows how millions of workers were involved, through their unions and worker councils, in the process of restructuring the economy to face the coming years, and how they succeeded to do so. It shows this back-and-forth dialogue between the vanguard of the party and the representatives of the workers, and how popular ideas are translated into Marxist terms and applied

How exactly is “black power” in the context of historical systematic oppression of black people, contrary to anticapitalism? Both can be fought for simultaneously

No gambling though

If you don’t wanna be insulted, don’t simp for the oppressors. I’d insult you if you said “I love absolutist monarchy!”

Oh god. That’s bad… That’s very bad… Thank you for the resources

Can you please give some context to who are these people for non-americans? And what’s Haz or MWM?

Who wrote that and why are they using such pompous language? Why are there red stripes in the logo of the party, is that a reference to the USA flag? Why is their YouTube presentation video just a 2-min CGI ad of stock footage of workers working in a polygonal world with epic music? Why does their YouTube account exclusively point towards a twitter account to learn more about the party? Idk, isn’t this all a bit sussy?
