I’m at a point where any computer (including smart devices) that doesn’t run a GNU/Linux or BSD derivative where I, the user, have full control over is completely useless to me. Proprietary OSs are so limiting, they’re like a plastic toy hammer for kids in comparison to GNU/Linux, which is like a real metal hammer.
This and the Barbara Streisand effect as other instances are making threads and creating drama about us, which will lead people to look us up out of curiosity
Literally how I found GenZedong. I used to browse latestagecapitalism and antiwork on reddit and kept seeing people shitting on “those authoritarian tankies over at GenZedong” which made me look it up out of curiosity. I think this is a net positive. Many people already have the right mindset but just need a lead to follow. And some may find their lead here.
Personally I’m not bothered by people/bots/feds coming here to downvote us. On reddit downvotes are terrible because not only does “the algorithm” take the voting scores into account and tends to “hide” posts with a low score, but if your user’s score is too low you’re unable to post and comment in some subs. But on lemmy none of these things are true. Lemmy doesn’t even keep track of a user’s total voting score.
If bourgeois democracy is used as a tool by the party to reach and educate the working masses and grow the party then I can agree with that. What I originally meant was a marxist party obeying by bourgeois rules, to the point where the main focus becomes electoralism and everything else gets pushed to the side, loosing sight of its original goals and loosing the revolutionary spirit. Essentially taming the party and putting a leash on it, if that makes sense.
No focusing on electoralism and bourgeois democracy. If a party that calls itself “marxist” tells people to vote that’s a huge red flag.
Anti-Imperialism and Anti-Capitalism are an absolute must. If a “marxist” party doesn’t recognize that capital is our common enemy and must be destroyed then they’re a lost cause.
Revolutionary. A marxist party has to recognize that socialism can only be achieved via overthrowing the capitalist ruling class and implementing a dictatorship of the proletariat.
No Anti-AES propaganda (examples: siding with the Anti-China narrative on Xinjiang or Africa, saying the DPRK is a monarchy where people have no “freedoms”, etc.). A marxist party should recognize AES countries for what they are, as any marxist should.
No Imperialist/CIA propaganda (examples: Putin is richest man and has a mansion the size of a village, Putin suddenly invaded a peaceful nation for no reason, Stalin was a gruesome tyrant/dictator who caused a famine, Lenin was a mass murderer, etc. )
I fully expected site wide vandalism that would take the admins some time to revert. But this is just cringey teenager-tier shit. 0/10 troll.
Hey wenger, if you happen to read this have you seen the fan art someone made of you? If yes, is it accurate?
Same. I have all my windows covered with a mosquito net because otherwise I’d have them lurking around everywhere. Hate those bloodsuckers.
He did but it seems like it’s gone now. There were only a few videos on there in which he did talk with his actual voice. I wonder why he deleted them. 🤔
Of course 2 of them have a K-On profile pic.
Stalin being “one of history’s most brutal dictators” is imperialist drivel; even internal CIA documents stated that the USSR had collective leadership.
Here is one such document for anyone that is curious: https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP80-00810A006000360009-0.pdf
Comrade, if you put up a torrent for sharing the scanned pages please post a magnet link so I can add it to my seedbox.
I’m amazed that embarrassing shit like this gets any amount of upvotes here on lemmygrad. Anyone who opposes Russia for “suddenly invading a peaceful, sovereign Nation” and unironically calls Putin a Warlord, Oligarch, Richest Man, etc. is not a Marxist and definitely not a Comrade but a reactionary who parrots arguments from western media. I smell wrecker.

I once caught a back and forth like that. It was all about lemmy devs not wanting to implement hexbear’s gender pronouns on avatars. It was a completely pointless discussion where one person was convinced that lemmy is run by bigots.
One of the things I dislike about hexbear is how US-centric people on there tend to be. Sometimes I feel like I’m on reddit due to the amount of identity politics, pop culture references and hyper-specific memes that only someone from the Empire would really get.
Can you still call it “Camera” if it doesn’t even catch any photons?
Godot, 0ad, Minetest, ffmpeg
all to have their work essentially go in the trash at reddit’s whims.
Sure the project may die but the knowledge remains. Software is accumulated knowledge. It can always be studied as long as the source code is available.

This isn’t limited to JS. Too many times have I seen someone ask a question of how to do XYZ in language ABC where most of the replies were some form of “Just use this library bro” while not actually answering the question. And usually the library that’s being suggested is some big monolith that implements a ton of shit that no one really uses.
