figuring out the role of each person would be investigative journalism, and that's not allowed in the International Community(TM)
fascist
how?
reactionary
yes, unfortunately
dictatorship
every country is a dictatorship of one class over the others
are you telling me fascists believe that their Race(TM) is superior??? sounds like Russian propaganda
yeah, I'm fairly confident Ukraine would not have been able to do this, especially without Amerika's (and probably Germany's) knowledge
Trotsky should've made an icepick detector instead, am I right folks
Which ones? The Baltic states? Finland? The ungoverned part of Poland that would've been taken by Nazis otherwise?
- What exactly did the Soviets do that was "abhorrent"?
- The USSR was not an empire; to the best of my knowledge, the only territories it captured were those occupied by Nazis.
the subtitle is unironically An Experiment in Literary Investigation
"Surely this must be a serious scholastic work!"
-- arbitrary liberal, probably
the answer being "Vladimir Putin" instead of "Russia" or "the Russian government" is just peak liberalism

Join the GenZedong Matrix space at genzedong.xyz!
(lemmygrad.ml)
What is Matrix?
Matrix โ Discord - tracking + end-to-end encryption (by default)
Matrix is a protocol for real-time communication (text, audio, and video) implemented by various applications ("clients") -- the official one is Element for Linux, macOS, Windows, Android, and iOS), but there are many others, e.g. those listed here. It's also federated, like Lemmy. To use a Matrix client, you need to make a Matrix account at one of the Matrix homeservers (similar to how you can make an account on lemmygrad.ml or lemmy.ml but still access both of them). We have our own Matrix homeserver at genzedong.xyz, and you don't need an email address to register an account there.
How do I join the space?
(If you already have a Matrix account, skip to step 3)
- Download a Matrix client (e.g. Element) on your device.
- Create an account in the client. You can select
genzedong.xyzas your homeserver here; if you choose the defaultmatrix.org, you'll need to enter an email address. If it doesn't work on your client, try using Element Web for registration. - Log in.
- Read the rules in
#rules:genzedong.xyzand the vetting questions in#vetting-questions:genzedong.xyz, and then answer the questions in#vetting-answers:genzedong.xyz(don't worry, it shouldn't take long).
What is the space?
A collection of rooms (equivalent to Discord channels) focused on various topics. The space is intended for Marxists-Leninists, although baby leftists may also be accepted depending on their vetting answers.

Primarily for those who don't already have a discussion group, but anyone interested in Marxist-Leninist theory is welcome ๐
It won't require intensive reading/listening; it should be doable for anyone who works or studies full time, and we usually have discussions at the end of every other week. We're currently following a study plan from China, but we can add recommended texts (decided by vote). At the time of writing we're reading "Wage Labour and Capital" but I'm not going to remember to update this post
You can join the group at #reading-group:genzedong.xyz (an encrypted room) through the GenZedong Matrix space (see this post). On /c/genzhou@lemmygrad.ml there'll also be a pinned post for the current text, for those who don't want to join the Matrix space.
not very "free" if there are restrictions, is it
