Very educational.

You mentioned that the PRC under Deng learned after the failiures of the USSR when Khrushchevist opportunists took over. However, I don’t see the correlation between that and a rushed transition into a planned economy.

Any decent person wouldn’t use brave.

Great insight

I’m aware of the export of exploitation to the imperial periphery under a social democratic economic system, but no other nordic social democrat country is there, so I don’t think so.

Can someone clarify Finland and Indonesia?

Great meme btw

I would advise using tankie.tube

The video is available there + it’s self-hostable + decentralized + free as in freedom / libre (definition: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) + it’s a community of tankies free from ultras, centrists, and right wingers like lemmygrad.

Alright, I’ll make sure to read https://1lib.sk/book/116565577/4da96d/history-of-economic-management-in-north-korea-from-planned-economy-to-socialist-enterprise-system.html

Really good advice. Thanks.

i haven’t thought about that to be honest. Reading the articles, it was just as if the nukes were somehow magically developed when Ukraine became “independent”. Good point. Another thing I wanted to say, but couldn’t as it would trigger a defense mechanism making them even more ignorant than they already are, is that Ukraine, Russia, and 13 other were never even states to begin with. Reading sources, almost every single one had the narrative of x gaining independence from the USSR as if before the USSR there were multiple states. Another aspect of this is when non-marxist people and scholars discuss a region in the USSR, they talk about it as if its some kind of occupied entity not as if it’s a region of the USSR like for example Beijing is city in The PRC, which is the actual case.

Haha, thanks. Really appreciate that. I was aiming to actually teach something, so I’m glad I did even though it wasn’t necessarily as planned .

Let’s say you want to have a photo for a project and you couldn’t find a stock or previous drawing and you don’t know how to draw, then sure, generate it using a self-hosted libre generator. At first, I came out defensive, but I read Artisanal Intelligence recommended by m532 and it change my perspective. I still feel truly attached to human art, but I’m not against the generators if they’re still self-hostable and libre.

Alright, thanks.

Are you aware of piefed instances? I don’t know the instances there or why someone would even use it over lemmy.

I was unaware. I assumed that if I can see them, they can see me, which is obviously stupid especially since I’m familiar with the fediverse. Other than .world and blahaj, what other communities have defederated from us, hexbear, and .ml?

How? By “generate me a picture of x”? Nothing about that is creative. It simply undermines the centuries old tradition of putting hard work and most importantly emotion to make a masterpiece. Those tools will never be able to achieve that. Instead, the undermine the already unappreciated artists that put their emotions into pieces that can make people stare in aw. You can argue how automation in a socialist society can be used to better people’s lives, but you can never argue that automating such a creative process so fundamental to human expression that it has been used since we were cave men is not a bad thing, let alone a good thing to “increase creativity” no matter what economic system present.

Hello comrade. My goal would be a group of informed marxists while still being inclusive for non radicals, but that would be delusional in my area and my age group, so I’m looking to making you average inclusive marxist study group made to educate ourselves, read collectively, discuss about the book, and of course, like you mentioned, discuss our personal lives, geopolitics, and the global marxist struggle. Lebanon lacks these study groups and the youth need to be introduces to marxism in a capitalist imperialist world. A more personal aspect is I lack comrades, so this way, I can help make ones, or find ones though I doubt it. I’m following https://unity-struggle-unity.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Study-Group-Interior-Pocketbook.pdf, which I saw linked on the prolewiki. I’ll definitely try to keep weekly updates and document to guide other radicals getting organised in their respected schools. “Give me just one generation of youth, and I’ll transform the whole world” -Vladimir Lennin

Will do. Thanks for the help
