1. With a long enough passphrase, your keepass db is uncrackable by any current tech.
2. If you have 50 accounts using the same password, if any one of those websites get hacked, they now have access to every other account.

I’m obsessed with these lol.

Another great one:

For a longer history, I highly recommend CGTN’s historic journey video series. It’s a 20 or so part series (10 hours in all) that was created to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the CPC. It spans the entire history of modern China to the present day, and touches on all the lessons learned. It’s very watchable and you’ll go through all the important figures, periods, and struggles.

This one isn’t history but is a must read: Roland Boer’s socialism with chinese characteristics, a guide for foreigners.

An extremely advanced but thorough book (i’m about 70% done with it), is Jin Huiming’s - Marxism and Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

I haven’t read these yet, but Edgar Snow’s red star over china, and anna louise strong’s the rise of the chinese people’s communes document different periods while they were happening, and have interviews with many of the leaders above.

Also good to read their source material, including Liu Shaoqi’s how to be a good communist, the quotations of Mao Zedong, and Deng Xiaoping’s selected works. These are all remarkably readable and insightful.

Someone should train an AI artist on shitty graphic design is my passion layouts from the 90s and see what it comes up with.

Not sure what movie this is from but I’m digging the dark magician look.

Major props to this comrade, this is excellent agitprop.

Why on earth would the PRC or any communist country “abolish production relations”. History has shown that the most important task of any country that frees themselves from colonial oppression, is to build industry, and develop production to uplift their people out of poverty.

Ignoring this task and focusing on “abolishing the commodity form” is ultra-left/anarchist nonsense, trying to insert vague ideological statements instead of the objective material reality and tasks at hand. The PRC went through an entire historical period to learn from and reject this nonsense.

And the PRC is absolutely not capitalist: see here.

Get down to business, all of you! You will have capitalists beside you, including foreign capitalists, concessionaires and leaseholders. They will squeeze profits out of you amounting to hundreds per cent; they will enrich themselves, operating alongside of you. Let them. Meanwhile you will learn from them the business of running the economy, and only when you do that will you be able to build up a communist republic. Since we must necessarily learn quickly, any slackness in this respect is a serious crime. And we must undergo this training, this severe, stern and sometimes even cruel training, because we have no other way out.

I checked my meme stash and I have like 100 garak memes but no gowron 😫

capitalism is only another name of feudalism,

There are fundamental differences between different production systems that we Marxists think are important enough to warrant distinction, even if they’re both instances of class societies.

I have a feeling you’d digest something better in video:

Paul Cockshott - Feudal economics

Watch that and them get back to me.

more carefully and generously than in the meme

So we’re not doing that up to your standards?

Clients: “This thing is ugly. No I will not elaborate.”

Maybe if the UN sends Israel a few more strongly worded letters, it’ll stop. Yemen is actually doing something to stop this genocide, unlike the UN.

Also just thought of this pertinent quote by William Casey, the CIA director during the 1980s:

We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.

I don’t see anyone here discouraging communication, and we’ve provided links that should help ppl get past the misdefinitions.

Control of language and ideas is a critical part of cultural hegemony:

In Marxist philosophy, cultural hegemony is the domination of a culturally diverse society by the ruling class, who manipulate the culture of that society (the beliefs, explanations, perceptions, values, and mores) so that their imposed, ruling-class world view becomes the accepted cultural norm; the universally valid dominant ideology, which justifies the social, political, and economic status quo as natural and inevitable, perpetual and beneficial for everyone, rather than as artificial social constructs that benefit only the ruling class.

If you live in the USA, you’ve probably already seen this a dozen times in your lifetime: Anti-unionism becomes “Right to work”, colonized peoples become “terrorists”, social support becomes “Welfare mothers”, immigrants become “illegal aliens”, petit bourgeiosie and the working class gets confused into “middle class”.

You can call these campaigns to miseducate conspiracies if you like, but they enter the public lexicon via mass inundation from capitalist media and educational institutions.

Do you believe that the average person saying “capitalism is human nature” uses your definition of capitalism? Or that they are just vaguely reference something that they don’t really want to argue?

If they’re mis-using terms why should they not be corrected? Capitalism isn’t “trade” by any acceptable definition. Ppl should be educated and enlightened, not dumbed down to.

I’m doing this every time I say israel IRL now.

No probs! Glad to do it
