Enver Hoxha: In 1968 the students in Paris clashed with ‘the forces of law and order.’ (…) The French Communist Party did not participate. Why did it not participate? Was it that in principle it was opposed to anarchism? I think this is not the reason. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
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: 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/…

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.

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.

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.

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.

In diesem Video spricht Philip Hopf mit Gerald Grosz!Die Demokratie wird vor unser aller Augen gerade abgeschafft📖 Der perfekte Untertan: https://amzn.eu/d/...
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.
In windows defense (no means sticking up for them now) It was a pretty unobtrusive OS in Windows 7 and arguably in Windows 8 (but don’t get me started with the UI/UX choices). Windows 10 was decent and for the first year or two felt good running it. But after that yikes….. Then windows 11 comes to the scene and I lost the plot. Looking forward to October though when people throw out their 7th Gen Processor rigs. I got no issues rocking an I7-6700K that is not AI ready
I model all of my UI choices off of old(er) school windows. I have a bar, the menu is left. I was a pirate before anything and I learned on windows. There was a point where it made sense that the world used it, I think that time has passed. I really am such a pleb that hardware issues only effect me if it doesn't work. In this I guess I am saying that the freedom to abuse and break my hardware is important. I don't want to sell my soul or be told "no". install the program, I know it was written for windows. I don't want a microsoft account.
I love your comparison of where issues come from on Linux vs Windows. That's so apt (heh). Even after 10 years of using Linux, I never really thought of it that way.
It's frustrating when any computer doesn't do what you want; but you're right, it's infuriating when the problems are engineered to manipulate you into parting with your money, attention, or privacy.
The issues i get through linux come from my failure to understand it
I’d argue that’s true of any user’s experience with any OS, including what you just experienced with Windows.
Getting out of S mode is actually very trivial, certainly moreso than many of the changes one might be expected to make in Linux. There’s a certain type of user that “S Mode” is intended for. You’re not that user, and Linux is likely to be a negative experience for that user.
I hadn't either until last night. From what I gathered it disables the installation of any softwares that don't come from the microsoft store i.e. .EXE files for programs that were downloaded from the browser. Getting out of S mode is as easy as creating a microsoft account. I had no interest in that for a variety of reasons.
Except they use a bunch of dark patterns to discourge any user from doing it by calling it 'Developer mode' and throwing a bunch of scary sounding warning screens at you when all you're doing is disabling the forced use of the Microsoft store.
It's a super scummy move that will be very effective. Many people will just use the Microsoft store and Microsoft will, once again, have used their monopoly to manipulate the market by forcing their own product to be used (like they got in trouble for in the IE vs Netscape Navigator case)
I guess I just didn't have the patience enough to even get that far with it haha All I could think of was the Netscape thing. It was sooo obvious when i opened edge and got halfway into typing "google chrome" when a giant banner pops up and says "you don't have to install another browser! please bro! Don't do it!"
Imagine turning Windows into an even shittier version of itself, and you've got S mode.
Can't install shit unless it's from the MS Store. Can't use a browser unless it's Edge. Not sure what other stupid shit it enforces. It's supposed to harden the system, but I find that hard to believe.
Ah, like a "stable" mode? Honestly it makes sense from a user support perspective. More locked down, more predictable, easier to secure. In the same way that you can't hack a brick, and similarly useful.
Heh, I'm probably in the minority, but I like the idea of different windows "modes". I've long wanted msft to make versions of windows for different users rather than a one-size-fits-all product. I just wanted it because I'm a power user who wanted something more stripped down and configurable, not a boomer who wants something that won't act as a conduit between my ignorance and scammers.
But it's cool, they can do whatever they want with windows now, they've made it clear they don't want me as a user.
