Imagine how depressing it is to think that capitalism is the peak of humanity achievements.
I've been told something along the lines that literally every atom in the world inevitably aligned in a way that led to humanity achieving capitalism, which is the best and most natural possible outcome of societal organization. Some liberals have that cultist vibe lol
I would really appreciate some resources on Canada involvement in Tibet/Uyghur topics, too
"@hamzaslr9093
there is the trinity in chritianity, and there is duality in zelenskianity" lol
martyr Zelensky ascended to divinity
USSR: focus on education, free healthcare, went from feudal shithole to a world power that fed it's people, a lot of social spending, workers councils had a say in the economy, defeated Nazis
USA: millions of homeless people, horrible drug problem, college debt, most wealth stolen from other nations through imperialism, ruled by fascist sympathizers and corporations, landleeches everywhere sucking life and noney of workers
Name a country better than the USA Lol
Thanks, US would be on the bottom of my list of good countries. It's good if you want to be a rich leech, it sucks for an average Joe.
"As if the world is upside down" really sounds similar to what a Palistinian once told me about people supporting Israel instead of Palestine.
WTF happened here, why would wnyone defend Zelensky on Lemmygrad...?
Oh, okay. May I ask why did you chose Garuda specifically? 🙂 I think it's the first time I read about it.
Some Polish people travel to work in Czech Republic, so I guess that your salaries are a little better. I like to work abroad and spend money at home so I can afford my hobbies, but for personal reasons I'll have to stay here for some time and I already feel the pain. 😅
I will have to settle for cheaper alternative for now, but I made a resolution to buy something similar to what you suggested once I finally get to work in the IT sector - at least I hope it will work out. Thanks for your suggestions - I never gave it much thought, the topic is very interesting and I really like the idea of getting a mechanical keyboard in the future.
What did you mean by tap-tap switch hand pattern? 🙂
we just want people to ask questions and decide on the tools that are actually right for them instead of what’s just the default
That's the way I also suggest to everyone! When it comes to tinkering with software, GNU/Linux is very good and encourages the user to learn much more efficiently than it's closed software counterparts. Since discovering it I can no longer find any joy in using Windows, really.
Do you by any chance use Vi(m) or Emacs? I can already tell that Colemak (and Dvorak surely too) is superior to QWERTY, but my setup relies heavily on keyboard and I wonder what would be the best approach to setting up keybindings. That's the only reason why I didn't fully switch, yet.
You said it right. The problem arises when you live in a place where half of the people are anticommunists. What is the point of having people-centric ideology if you're the enemy of society? It doesn't make sense. You cannot force revolution on people who don't want it. It's depressing.
A busy man, huh? Tens of millions, what a number... Such a shame even the CIA rejected the idea of Stalin as all-mighy dictator

but you may earn a living on writing fantasy novels about it.
Stalin was an angel compared to many of his Western imperialist counterparts like Churchill. Supporting the system that murders millions of people everywhere and demands infinite growth, results in imperialism and causes mass poverty is not an alternative to the USSR model at all. I can't tell if you're misguided or a fascist, though. 😉
Keyboard that would help avoid fingers strain
Hey there,
I've been doing a lot of typing lately on my shitty old Compaq keyboard (it has a good build quality, but keys require relatively much force to be pressed) and I experience some discomfort in my fingers.
Would anybody suggest any specific keyboard or keyboard type that would help me ease the strain? I know absolutely nothing about keyboards lol!
Is it possible to rebrand to administrator / programmer job in (very) late 20's?
Hey,
I am unhappy with my current job and I seek the strategy to improve my life situation. It took me a long time to sort out my personal problems, so I am rather late to the party, but I finally feel ready and capable to try and learn something new.
I have basic knowledge of how GNU/Linux works and very limited knowledge in C++ programming. I enjoy spending my time on learning new things in that subject and I would like to use it as an advantage to earn money doing it. Yes, hobbies turned into work sometimes ruin it, but I have no better ideas at the moment.
I already figured out that costly professional courses may be a waste of time and money or at least that's what I've read online. The only truly good thing is that they sometimes offer help with finding job at the end of the training, which might make things easier. I am not sure what to think about it.
Is the perspective of choosing a job in the IT field and changing a job realistic at my age and without any formal education? If so, do you have any advice for me on how to even begin the journey?
I know that I did not specify anything, but I'm trying to get an advice before I make any decisions and I will be happy to receive any suggestions.
Cheers!
What's with the downvotes?
I can fully understand when me or someone else gets downvotes for saying something controversial or silly (yeah, it happens, I admit), but why would anyone come here and spend time downvoting things that perfectly align with the political climate here?
Are we that popular that we are being displayed in other instances so often? Do we have lurkers who only pretend to be communists? And in that case - Jesus, I thought that I am wasting my time sometimes... 😆
--- The fact that the first thing I received was a downvote is a comedy gold.
Keyboard-based Internet browser
Hello,
Is there anyone using tiling window manager (i3 and similar)? I get easily distracted by stacking desktop environments and I found out that the minimalist approach works best for my ability to focus on learning and doing actual work with the computer. The less on the screen, the better and I don't mind memorizing some additional commands to get works done, if it reduces amount of information displayed at one time. It's not even about productivity - this approach just feels better and "cleaner", compared to bloated desktop environments like KDE.
Vimb is pretty good for that purpose (no menus, no tabs, no need for mouse usage most of the time), although it fails to load some websites and it can get buggy sometimes. Can you suggest any alternatives or ways to improve the experience with that browser?
Richard D. Wolff - Kryzys i alternatywy: wprowadzenie do marksizmu (napisy PL, projekt własny)
Następny wykład, który porusza temat kryzysów kapitalizmu według zasady "explain like I'm 5". Większość marksistów zbyt wiele nowego się z niego nie dowie, ale udało mi się przekonać kogoś do obejrzenia i odniosłem wrażenie, że wywołało to kilka przemyśleń, więc poświęcony czas nie był zmarnowany.
KPP
Cześć Polacy
Czy ktoś ma tutaj doświadczenie z Komunistyczną Partią Polski? Napisałem do nich niedawno i spotkałem się z pozytywną odpowiedzią. Rozważam wsparcie tej partii, ale na razie wziąłem na wstrzymanie z powodu nieokreślonej sytuacji życiowej i braku wiedzy na ich temat.
Z rozmowy e-mail wynikało, że są aktywni, że brali udział w marszach 1 maja i po krótkiej rozmowie wstępnej wyrazili chęć współpracy, mój rozmówca był generalnie bardzo przyjazny. Skoro odpisują na bieżąco i wysuwają konkretne propozycje, to zakładam, że nie są tak pasywni jak się wydaje.
Są tu jakieś opinie lub rzeczowe informacje, które warto wiedzieć na ich temat?
Michael Parenti - O Imperializmie i krajach rewolucyjnych (Yellow Parenti) - Napisy PL
Słynny "Yellow Parenti".
Przetłumaczyłem Parentiego. Jeśli ktoś chce radykalizować rodzinę i znajomych, może użyć klasyka.
How to host and promote a website with educational resources?
Hello
In my free time I like to translate Marxist educational materials to my native language by adding subtitles to lectures, translating infographics and the like. Even though there are not many people who interact with it, It is my preferred way of "bypassing" attention problems and I learn a lot in the process.
I used to host them on YouTube with links to original materials and share them on Reddit, but I think about moving to other platforms. I think it would be good to have my own small website - I have some limited experience with GNU/Linux, HTML, CSS and Javascript, so I don't think that I would need any additional software to make it all from scratch. I think it's a good opportunity to learn some web development and share some notes with recommendations to make it easier to access other authors and resources.
There are few questions that I'd like to ask before I even consider this project. I do not expect answer to all my questions, but any suggestion is welcome.
-
What resources would be useful in learning on how to host a website properly? Could you recommend any services that don't break the bank and let host a small site without ads? Is there some Linux software that you like to use personally to manage that?
-
Is it better to host videos directly to the website or use some other services? If so, what alternatives to YouTube could you recommend?
-
I don't touch books or mainstream materials to avoid copyright claims - all I do, I do with respect for the creators and I provide all original resources. Should I be aware of any potential problems with coprygith claims? If so, it would be a bummer, as I enjoy doing this and I think that knowledge should be shared, but I am ready to reconsider this undertaking and find another way to work for the community.
Cheers
