  • The US is gonna be so whiny when it's plan to fund imperialism through more tariffs falls through.

  • Nightly rsync job in crontab works well enough, if its an external hard drive.

    If you're going over a network, syncthing.

  • Oh you're building production facilities to feed and cloth your people??? That's not very communist of you to not abolish the commodity form and wage labor.

    Also countries are cringe, real communists don't need one. Stop building things!

    /s

  • The best definition of authoritarianism: "When you tell white people they can't do imperialism"

  • Is this really the first burger pope?

  • Ya, he does really good work on all the US capture of publishing houses and the "theory industry"

  • I do this too, keepassdx form filling works really well on android.

  • Same. It's so hard to get ppl to switch.

  • Matrix is also missing.

    1. With a long enough passphrase, your keepass db is uncrackable by any current tech.
    2. If you have 50 accounts using the same password, if any one of those websites get hacked, they now have access to every other account.
  • I'm obsessed with these lol.

    Another great one:

  • For a longer history, I highly recommend CGTN's historic journey video series. It's a 20 or so part series (10 hours in all) that was created to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the CPC. It spans the entire history of modern China to the present day, and touches on all the lessons learned. It's very watchable and you'll go through all the important figures, periods, and struggles.

    This one isn't history but is a must read: Roland Boer's socialism with chinese characteristics, a guide for foreigners.

    An extremely advanced but thorough book (i'm about 70% done with it), is Jin Huiming's - Marxism and Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

    I haven't read these yet, but Edgar Snow's red star over china, and anna louise strong's the rise of the chinese people's communes document different periods while they were happening, and have interviews with many of the leaders above.

    Also good to read their source material, including Liu Shaoqi's how to be a good communist, the quotations of Mao Zedong, and Deng Xiaoping's selected works. These are all remarkably readable and insightful.

  • Someone should train an AI artist on shitty graphic design is my passion layouts from the 90s and see what it comes up with.

  • Major props to this comrade, this is excellent agitprop.

  • Why on earth would the PRC or any communist country "abolish production relations". History has shown that the most important task of any country that frees themselves from colonial oppression, is to build industry, and develop production to uplift their people out of poverty.

    Ignoring this task and focusing on "abolishing the commodity form" is ultra-left/anarchist nonsense, trying to insert vague ideological statements instead of the objective material reality and tasks at hand. The PRC went through an entire historical period to learn from and reject this nonsense.

    And the PRC is absolutely not capitalist: see here.

    Get down to business, all of you! You will have capitalists beside you, including foreign capitalists, concessionaires and leaseholders. They will squeeze profits out of you amounting to hundreds per cent; they will enrich themselves, operating alongside of you. Let them. Meanwhile you will learn from them the business of running the economy, and only when you do that will you be able to build up a communist republic. Since we must necessarily learn quickly, any slackness in this respect is a serious crime. And we must undergo this training, this severe, stern and sometimes even cruel training, because we have no other way out.

    • Lenin
  • capitalism is only another name of feudalism,

    There are fundamental differences between different production systems that we Marxists think are important enough to warrant distinction, even if they're both instances of class societies.

    I have a feeling you'd digest something better in video:

    Paul Cockshott - Feudal economics

    Watch that and them get back to me.

    So we're not doing that up to your standards?
