Lenin: We surely know from experience that the expropriation of the bourgeoisie entails a drastic struggle — a dictatorship. Marx said that the revolutionary dictatorship of the proletariat lies between capitalism and communism. The more the proletariat presses the bourgeoisie, the more thing for us is that! Cheka is directly exercising the dictatorship of the proletariat, and in that respect its services are invaluable. There is no way of emancipating the people except by forcibly suppressing the exploiters. That is what Cheka is doing, and therein lies its service to the proletariat. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Quotes
- Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

Lenin: By exposing the fact that the opportunists and social-chauvinists are in reality betraying and selling the interests of the masses, that they are defending the temporary privileges of a minority of the workers, that they are the vehicles of bourgeois ideas and influences, that they are really allies and agents of the bourgeoisie, we teach the masses to appreciate their true political interests, to fight for socialism and for the revolution through all the long and painful vicissitudes of imperialist wars and imperialist armistices. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

ZAPATISTA ARMY OF NATIONAL LIBERATION.
MEXICO.
May 2025.
To those who signed the Declaration for Life:
To the National and International Sexta:
To the National Indigenous Congress:
To the peoples of Mexico and the world:
Compañeras and compañeros, sisters and brothers:
We explain to you what happened to the two Zapatista support bases, José Baldemar Sántiz Sántiz and Andrés Manuel Säntiz Gómez, who were illegally detained and kidnapped by the joint forces of the federal and state governments on April 26 of this year 2025.
They were disappeared for 55 hours and were only presented before the corrupt authorities, thanks to pressure from the Fray Bartolomé de Las Casas Human Rights Center. They were accused of aggravated kidnapping against Pedro Díaz Gómez.
During the arrest, the National Guard forces, the federal army and the so-called Pakal Immediate Reaction Forces took advantage of the arrest and stole the belongings and pay of the affected people and the communities. They stole a car, a motorcycle and a large amount of cash.
While the supreme government gambled with the life, liberty and property of the two illegally detained, the autonomous Zapatista authorities carried out their own investigation under the guidance of Truth and Justice in common.
I remind you that, as organized peoples that we are, we have principles and regulations in common. It is not permissible to infringe on the life, liberty and property of other people, whatever their ideology, party, religion, sexual preference, skin color, race, language, nationality or social position. In the case of murder, kidnapping, assault, rape, forgery and robbery, these are serious offenses. Additionally, drug trafficking, its production and consumption are not allowed. As with drunkenness and other offenses that are determined in common.
Any compañero or compañera, regardless of position or rank, who is guilty of serious offenses, is excluded from being a Zapatista.
Once the arrest and serious accusations against these two comrades became known, the GALEZs investigated whether they were involved in kidnapping. The organizational structure in charge of investigating came to the conclusion that the two comrades are innocent.
This was made known to the Frayba.
Not satisfied with that, the autonomous authorities continued investigating and came to confirm the involvement of two other people in the crime. These two criminals were detained and, with respect for their human rights, were taken into custody in one of the Zapatista communities.
The two criminals confessed to the kidnapping and murder of Pedro Díaz Gómez, and indicated the precise place where they had buried the body. They indicated the complicity of other people.
This was brought to the attention of the Frayba, who informed the authorities of the bad government.
Seeing that they would once again be ridiculed, the corrupt authorities rushed to mobilize their forces and arrested one of the accused who was on the run. This person confirmed the confessions to the Zapatista authorities. This is how they arrived at the place where the body of the victim of the crime was buried.
All of this was known to the government at all three levels of government, but nothing was done. Instead of immediately releasing our innocent comrades, they dragged their feet and proposed an exchange of detainees. That way they could bribe the media and sell them the story that everything had been the merit of the state and federal justice system. And they could also keep what they stole from the poor indigenous people who had suffered their attack.
The bad government again sent its repressive forces in search of a fourth implicated person. But not only did they not detain him, they also took advantage of the situation to continue stealing belongings from the communities.
Meanwhile, the federal and state authorities pressured and threatened the human rights defenders because their denunciation would show them for what they are: repressors of the innocent and manufacturers of the guilty.
In the early morning of May 2, 2025, the two confessed criminals detained by the Zapatistas were handed over to the Fray Bartolomé de Las Casas Human Rights Center so that they could review the state of health of the detainees and certify if their rights had been violated. Frayba proceeded to hand over the culprits to the official authorities.
In the course of the morning of May 2, our comrades Baldemar and Andres were released. But the government thieves refuse to return everything they have stolen.
The governments of the so-called 4T lie in everything they say about the indigenous peoples and social movements. They are the same or worse than the previous PRI and PAN governments. Those numbers that boast of “detainees,” to please Trump, are mostly innocent. Instead of buying favorable opinions in the media and social networks, the bad governments should pay their repressive forces well so that they do not have to steal from those who have less or nothing.
What happened is not only in our territories. Throughout the geography called “Mexico,” native communities, defenders of Mother Earth, human rights defenders, social movements and organizations, migrants and even simple people, who work every day to earn an honest living, are extorted, assaulted, kidnapped, disappeared, imprisoned and murdered by a government eager to ingratiate itself to the power of money.
They are hopeless.
The capitalist system was born wrong, a product of injustice, blood and robbery. This is how it continues to this day, regardless of the flags under which it hides. Its sign is death and it will remain so until the end of its days.
As Zapatista peoples we have thought of a way to combat the empire of death. We call that way “The Common.”
And in this painful situation, it became clear that the Common walks the path of truth and justice.
This achievement of the liberation of our two innocent comrades was the fruit of a triple effort: that of human rights defenders, that of national and international solidarity and support, and that of autonomous justice.
It is a moment to not forget other sister peoples, near and far in geography, who suffer the deadly attacks of the evil system. Let us not forget the native peoples, the disappeared and those who search for them, the defenders of mother earth, the people who are only a number in the statistics of crime, the Palestinian people.
For Life: justice and truth in Common.
From the mountains of the Mexican Southeast.
Subcomandante Insurgente Moisés.

It's run by the main developers of Lemmy, and they're both authoritarian communists (which I just got from Wikipedia as I'm trying not to use the pejoritve "tankie").
Anything that could be perceived as speaking down towards Russia, China, maybe even North Korea, ends up with your comment getting deleted and your account banned for a period of time.
They started Lemmy because @dessalines got banned from Reddit. The backwards thinking is that people shouldn't be banned for speaking their minds, yet their instance is the absolute worst for that.
By avoiding .ml you are helping Lemmy be what it should be -- a decentralized, user owned, user moderated place with sensible decisions behind the scenes.

Yep that's pretty much the long and short of it. People will say, if you just stick to the technical topics then you're fine and they'll ignore you. Which is true to an extent. But you should not have to. And most people don't want to popularize places like that to begin with if they knew.
This part is a small tangential nitpick. What Russia China North Korea Etc have is not communism. They may call it Communism. But what is important to note is that one is uppercase and one is lowercase. One is an adjective that describes a stateless classless society. The other is a noun often used to refer to a tightly controlling state with a strict regiment class structure between the political and non political classes. Honestly I think the term communism is beyond Rehabilitation. Though I would still like to try and see it differentiated from the noun.

Mao Zedong: The Communist Party does not fear criticism because we are Marxists, the truth is on our side, and the basic masses, the workers and peasants, are on our side. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Quotes
- Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
- Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.
- Democritus: Many who have not learned wisdom live wisely, and many who do the basest deeds can make most learned speeches.
- Democritus: Fools learn wisdom through misfortune.
- Democritus: Strength of body is nobility in beasts of burden, strength of character is nobility in men.
- Democritus: Neither art nor wisdom may be attained without learning.
- Democritus: It is better to correct your own faults than those of another.
- Democritus: Good means not (merely) not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong.
- Democritus: Fame and wealth without wisdom are unsafe possessions.
- Muammar Gaddafi: We will not surrender. We will defeat them by any means. We are ready for the fight, whether it will be a short or a long one. We will be victorious in the end. This assault is by a bunch of fascists who will end up in the dustbin of history.
- Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.
- Democritus: We know nothing accurately in reality, but (only) as it changes according to the bodily condition, and the constitution of those things that flow upon (the body) and impinge upon it.
- Democritus: Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.
- Democritus: Immoderate desire is the mark of a child, not a man.
- Democritus: Men have fashioned an image of Chance as an excuse for their own stupidity.
- Democritus: In a shared fish, there are no bones.
- Democritus: Education is an ornament for the prosperous, a refuge for the unfortunate.
- Democritus: The animal needing something knows how much it needs, the man does not.
- Democritus: Moderation multiplies pleasures, and increases pleasure.
- Democritus: If your desires are not great, a little will seem much to you; for small appetite makes poverty equivalent to wealth.
- Democritus: No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge.
- Democritus: In fact we do not know anything infallibly, but only that which changes according to the condition of our body and of the (influences) that reach and impinge upon it.
- Democritus: Of practical wisdom these are the three fruits: to deliberate well, to speak to the point, to do what is right.
- Democritus: 'Tis not in strength of body nor in gold that men find happiness, but in uprightness and in fulness of understanding.
- Democritus: He who does wrong is more unhappy than he who suffers wrong.
- Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
- Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
- Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
- Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.
- Che Guevara: Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.
- Democritus: The first principles of the universe are atoms and empty space; everything else is merely thought to exist.

I was a poor young man, I refused to pay $100 to put windows on a hard drive I had installed into a hand-me-down desktop.
I found linux and made it work, through thick and thin.
As a lazy jackass i somehow got skyrim to work through wine via copied and pasted terminal commands. wintetricks and all, i found it wildly difficult. Playing was almost as thrilling as seeing it work.
I have only ever attempted to make a linux ISO bootable drive through windows that one time, more than ten years ago.
My wife was given a laptop with windows 11 installed and I wanted to install firefox.
what, the actual fuck, is "S" mode?
ctrl-alt-t "install that shit"!
A computer should not come with a subscription baked in. That's trash.
The issues i get through linux come from my failure to understand it and/or the walled gardens it hasn't found its way into yet.
The issues I experienced this evening on windows were there by design.
Thank you to all of the homies that make the weird and sometimes uncomfortable linux/ open-source community work. You guys are the shit.
The issues I experienced this evening on windows were there by design.
That's exactly what has kept me loyal to Linux. When I do have an issue, at least no one designed the issue on purpose to abuse me.
Playing was almost as thrilling as seeing it work.
This is GOLD!

Father in heaven, author of all truth,
a people once in darkness has listened to your Word
and followed your Son as he rose from the tomb.
Hear the prayer of this newborn people
and strengthen your Church to answer your call.
May we rise and come forth into the light of day
to stand in your presence until eternity dawns.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
________
May the Lord bless us, protect us from all evil, and bring us to everlasting life.
Amen.
1. Replace workers with AI.
2. Now instead of wages you pay a company for AI services.
3. Despite the likely decline in quality of the work, suppose you become dependent as a company on this service. Suppose you make it work.
4. AI is heavily subsidized by venture capital, its priced lower than the cost to provide the service to attract early adopters (and to lock companies like you in.)
5. Inevitably the AI bubble bursts, AI services jack up their prices.
How is paying rent better than wages?

Spoiler alert.
So during the era of Biden, there was this X report that seemed to be heavily influenced by Q slop.
And for 4 years lots of people bought the premise that Trump was stil in control. Even when he had to spend most of his time defending himself in court against baseless accusations they claimed that it was just theater.
Trump was still in control. I lost count of how many times Hillary Clinton was executed and replaced by a clone.
