This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

See this GitHub page for a collection of sources about socialism, imperialism, and other relevant topics.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

Welcome again to everybody. Make yourselves at home. In the time-honoured tradition of our group, here is the weekly discussion thread!

P.S. Update on those stability improvements/enhancements I mentioned in my previous weekly thread: they're finished. The matrix server uptime is now better. Suspiciously better, some might say. Anyway, enjoy the reliability >:3

me when the two different texts (which are using the same definitions of value and economics that marx presented so it’s not like it’s surprising in any way) have the same idea and i can recognize it: (forgot all the emojis are broken, imagine the nostalgia critic oh my god face)

also i remembered i have free will and can copy paste a passage from a text and give it line breaks if i want to. top ten tricks big capitalism doesn’t want you to know /j. i’m gonna save so much time on the minmax theory reading speedrun i think

Oh, that is a brilliant skill to have.

Honestly, philology and the process of correctly interpreting what is said and what it means and what it implies and even comparing and contrasting different excerpts or passages from different authors is a highly underrated field, practically something you need to develop into its own art (you can't just read a book giving you instructions exactly on how to do all this, you gotta develop it over time).

Also, minmax theory? What exactly?

[–] 6kb_@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

tbf i honestly forget what minmax means specifically as a speedrun term but i’m fairly sure it’s just maximizing achievement for least amount of time and that’s what i hope i do. finally getting faster at understanding things Better

Oh that, fair enough.

I try to take my time as much as I can nowadays but when it comes to jobs, education, finance, skills, etc.? Stuff you need to live and uplift yourself? I get it. The gloves are off.
