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.

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

The original video as well as the full sources for further reading introduced me to the Russia-Ukraine conflict when I first became a leftist and recently, I used these sources to make a summary of the conflict here (https://lemmy.ml/post/36330328/21164800)

Hope it helps and full credit to Hakim.

We have a crippling economy, corruption, imperialism, poverty, occupied land, a genocidal settler-colonial entity looking to murder everything that moves, and this bigoted, privileged white shit thinks what we need to do is disarm the only meaningful form of resistance we have.

Since its formation, it has and will defend Lebanon from countless invasions, attacks, and aggressions. The last thing we need right now is the disarming of Hezbollah.

The last 100 times the settler-colonial entity tried to “take care” of our resistance, it went air-striking civilians, caused millions to be displaced, murdered thousands, occupied land, continuously air-strikes, surveils, and commits other violations of the ceasefire. I can keep going for days.

Also, on the side note, couldn’t the U.S send someone different. If I wanted to seem like a peace-maker, I would at least not tell journalists they’re uncivilized upon arrival, call them animalistic, and threaten an entire nation already been through hell. Yikes, even the Lebanese bigoted fascist Israeli and Western collaberaters can’t defend that.

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

The legacy of bigotry and hatred towards “non-Americans” 💥 🔫 🇺🇸 🦅

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?
