Yes, for now.

For now. There were domain issues and that’s being worked on, chapo.chat is a workaround.

Thank you! Good luck!

Anarchism is a strain of anti-capitalist thinking that normally rejects some or most of Marxism, dbzer0 tends to more often fall into the category of rejecting Marxism and being hostile towards AES, from interactions I have had. I am not going to say it’s a rule, just what I encounter most frequently.

Deepseek avoids topics that are usually considered political. AI as a hallucination machine is especially useless with political content as it is extremely polluted with propaganda and wildly different views on similar contexts, so it isn’t for censorship. And yes, the people in China know about and speak about their leadership.

You should view this post from Lemmy.ml, you are getting good responses from instances you can’t see because .world defederated from them.

I am sorry, I am not the most familiar with Kerala. I would see if you can contact the Communist Party and ask if they have study materials, they likely do for cadre but would usually be willing to provide if people ask.

It redirects to chapo.chat, there are some domain shenanigans going on but the people are still there and actively posting.

They hate us cuz they aint us 🤷

Yep, agreed! Even if the means and ends are different between Marxism and Anarchism, the fundamental obstacle is still Imperialism and Capitalism, and the goal is still focused on the people, not those with Capital.

Feel free to shoot any questions my way!

Yep, Cuba’s journey with respect to social development is very admirable, their most recent Family Code is more LGBTQ friendly than the US. The PRC has further to go, but the CPC itself is more LGBTQ neutral, so there’s good reason to believe the improving trends over time as generations change will improve legislation.

As for Anarchism/Leftism, I think that’s more than sufficient to consider yourself one full-stop, no “to my knowledge” needed. I myself have a long way to go as a Marxist-Leninist, but reading theory has been tremendously clarifying for me and my journey. I know you consider yourself an Anarchist, but if you want recommendations on Marxism-Leninism I made an intro reading list (linked on my profile). I think it’s generally useful for Leftists of all stripes to engage with the ideas of other predominant Leftist ideologies.

Excellent work, comrade 🫡

Usually techie and anarchist-adjacent, pro-piracy as well, generally anti-Marxist but usually more focused on being anti-Capitalist.

This accelerates that process, for sure! I am more talking about how long-term, users tend to form more similar views. If you join an instance and another better fits your views, users tend to jump ship.

Should be cool to revitalize the game!

Some of Dessalines’ audiobooks are on TT, I think!

I wouldn’t recommend Capital for a beginner, I’m reading through volumes 1-3 this year and it certainly helps that I’ve read more from Marx, Engels, etc before jumping into it.

As for an intro to Marxist theory, that’s a very broad question. The clearest intro to DiaMat in my opinion is Politzer’s Elementary Principles of Philosophy, have you tried that one? For Marxism in general, I prefer Principles of Communism, but Dessalines keeps a Crash Course on Socialism that I also like.

Thanks for reading some of what I recommend! Do you have any particular struggle areas? I think the best thing to do would be to see if there is a good Communist party in your native language and ask if they have study material for you, education is a big part of org work and they may have a course that is especially tuned for your particular environment and language.

Lemmy.world has moderators that will remove your comments or ban you for talking about how the Democrats contribute to the genocide of Palestinians.

There are a lot of audiobooks for theory on that instance, so it’s useful for anyone wanting to get into leftist theory.

It’s also an imperfect view, as @[email protected] said Cuba now has some of the best LGBTQ rights in the world. Social progress is very commonly accelerated in AES countries compared to Capitalist countries because society is oriented in a more cooperative manner. We can see this happen in real time in China, where the youth are far more socially progressive and perspective on LGBTQ issues is stratified more by generation than anything else. There’s a long way to go, but progress is happening.

I do wonder what you mean by you aligning leftist/anarchist “to your knowledge,” haha.

Yea but that was always the case. I am asking why they spoke of Hexbear as though it no longer exists.
