capitalist spain and italy, by trying to hijack the efforts of the flotilla, are still doing more than china has ever done (which is nothing btw)

Creating infrastructure throughout the Global South, selling weapons and other important goods to the resistance, bypassing US "sanctions" against Iran, etc. is "nothing"? It's entirely fair to criticize China for still trading with Israel but this is nonsense

yes -- these people were just opportunists calling themselves socialists (or "social-democrats") because it was popular among the workers

I can't comment on the quality, but you can find translations of his prison notebooks on Anna's Archive

there's already a link in the post

 

This was a lecture delivered by Liu Shaoqi in 1939. You can read a transcription here. Since it's a longer text, we're preliminarily allocating two weeks for it.

This reading group is meant to educate, and people from any instances federated with Lemmygrad are welcome. Any comments not engaging in good faith will be removed (don't respond to hostile comments, just report them), as will off-topic comments.

You can post questions or share your thoughts at any time. When we move on to a new text, this thread won't be locked.

If you don't know what Matrix is

Matrix is a protocol for real-time communication implemented by various applications ("clients") -- the official one is Element for Linux, macOS, Windows, Android, and iOS), but there are many others, e.g. those listed here. It's also federated, like Lemmy. To use a Matrix client, you need to make a Matrix account at one of the Matrix homeservers (similar to how you can make an account on lemmygrad.ml or lemmy.ml but still access both of them). We have our own Matrix homeserver at genzedong.xyz, and you don't need an email address to register an account there.

A Matrix space is a collection of rooms (equivalent to Discord channels) focused on various topics.

The space is intended for pro-AES Marxists-Leninists, although new Marxists may also be accepted depending on their vetting answers.

To join the space, you need to first create a Matrix account. If you want to create an account on another server, you can likely register within your Matrix client of choice. If you want to create an account on genzedong.xyz, you have to use this form (intended to prevent spam accounts).

Once you have an account, join #rules:genzedong.xyz and read the rules. Then, join #vetting-questions:genzedong.xyz and read the questions. Finally, join #vetting-answers:genzedong.xyz and answer the vetting questions there. Usually, you'll be accepted within a few hours if there are no issues with your answers.
