Taking notes is important unless your memory is extremely good. If I had an e-reader with a touch screen, I’d use that to highlight important sections, but right now I just take notes in a text editor. You could also use a highlighter pen on a physical book or a print-out

yes, the suggestions with a few more upvotes were significantly longer

there’s already a link in the post

The distinction between a non-imperialist capitalist country and an imperialist one is important; if the former is fighting against the latter, the situation is very different

Would this be the moment for the working class of Russia to organize to topple their oligarchy?

Organization is an ongoing project, but taking power without the support of the army would likely lead to a civil war, and now is not a good time for Russia to be destabilized

you’re on thin ice

you could use any statue of Leopold II, I don’t see what other purpose they would serve

he Otto Grotewohl, DDR prime minister

picture depicts him looking with immense disappointment at modern Germany

I don’t think Lemmy has such a feature; your best bet would probably be to DM a mod you know to be active

if it’s just one video, you can just post it in this community

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What this article is referring to as “Marxism/Leninism” is, in fact, Marxism-Leninism, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, “Marxism plus Leninism”. “Marxism/Leninism” implies either “Marxism” or “Leninism”; however, “Leninism” is is not an ideology unto itself, but rather an extension of Marxism. Many Marxists use this modified version of Marxism every day, without realizing it. Th

No, if you’re a developing country, you want a planned economy. The only reason to allow private capital would be to gain access to foreign technology and to stave off imperialism until you’re capable of self-defense

I think capitalism wouldn’t be so bad if it was limited to what it’s good at. Fashion, tech, entertainment, snacks, ect.

The thing is that capitalism isn’t “good” at anything; all value is produced by workers. Fast fashion is an environmental nightmare, development of tech is in the interest of capital (automation shouldn’t be a threat to workers), most entertainment is constrained by the diktats of massive corporations, the vast majority of snacks are either unhealthy or extremely overpriced, and workers (particularly in the Global South) are being abused in all four cases

not only that, the CPC is absolutely massive and encompasses several different ideologies in addition to Marxism-Leninism

After the fascist coup, Crimea and the Donbas very reasonably wanted to separate from the new government. The coup government reacts by sending fascists to occupy the Donbas. Russia waits for almost a decade, trying multiple times to make a deal with the coup government and its backers to leave the Donbas alone and let it have some level of autonomy. The coup government repeatedly violates both of the Minsk agreements and continues killing civilians. Russia finally accepts the request from the DPR and LPR to send troops into the region. Ukraine continues attacking the Donbas and eventually Russia and the Donbas republics decide that they have to enter Ukraine in order to stop the attacks. During this time, Russia attempts many times to negotiate a peace deal, which Ukraine’s coup government almost accepts until some imperialist mascot like Boris Johnson travels to Kyiv and tells Zelensky not to accept the deal. As a result, the war continues.

but clearly this is all Russia’s fault

of course, a nation is truly sovereign after a fascist coup planned and funded by a foreign government, this makes perfect sense

I exclusively play DOOM II (1994)
