Memorandum of conversation between Enver Hoxha and Kang Sheng…, Tirana, 9 November 1966, in AQSH, F.14, AP-MPKK, V.1968, D4, f.16.

Please help me in any way you can.

>AQSH
That's Albanian State Archive. You'll have to check out if it was digitized and published online.

That's the only solution I see for your problem.

Choosing a language edition

I do not know why we do not have an active language learning thread, so here you go.

Don't learn russian. This language is kinda useless if you don't live in an ex-ussr country.

>>25661
why defend usefulnesslop

>>25669
it'd like be learning to draw and then never drawing, im a troid and most russians hate them, not to mention it is illegal there

I'm looking for a language with little to memorize outside of the phonology of the word, this means no uninferable gender, uninferable declination, or non-phonetic scripts. I'd like there to be relatively few non-Western European loan words. I'd like for it to be agglutinate, or isolating, but not fusional as this makes forms difficult to determine. I love when words and phrases are built up from consistent morphemes!

I've been trying to learn any foreign language for years, but every time I hit a road block, and it all falls down shortly after. I sort of think my brain just isn't configured to retain another language that I don't have a full mastery of. I even tried glorious Hawaiian but failed once I hit the numbers, and dates for unknown reasons, and after which, even while doing word flashcards, I eventually lost much of my active recall.

Anyway I'm trying to select what to try next, I'm considering: Chinese (pinyin), Turkic Languages, Uralic Languages, and Korean at the minimum along with anything else that might fit the criteria. Mostly just a vent, but if you've got anything for me I'd be happy to hear!

NTA but learning Chinese now. Useful skill and a huge country to explore as a tourist.



 

As the rule of capital in the digital age becomes increasingly concealed, and as life dimensions such as education, health, and time have all been reduced to arenas of value extraction, this work, rooted in Marxist political economy, breaks free from the traditional analytical framework centered on "ownership of means of production" and puts forward a groundbreaking core thesis—contemporary capital has completed an ascended rule from "possessing things" to "colonizing life," with its core object of domination shifting from "means of production" to "the production and reproduction of labor power."

A distinctive highlight of this work lies in constructing a triadic dialectically linked framework of "Actual Control Capacity over the Means of Production—Production Integrity—Actual Control Capacity over the Production of Labor Power." It profoundly analyzes the alienated nature of the commercialization of labor power, reveals the core contradiction between the capitalist socialized large-scale production and the capitalist private control over labor power production, and provides a brand-new theoretical perspective for understanding the new forms of exploitation under digital capitalism. Meanwhile, centering on the core goal of "abolishing the commercialization of labor power," the work systematically outlines a two-stage emancipatory program of "political revolution + social revolution." Grounded in the specific practical context of nation-states while embracing the dimension of class solidarity from a global perspective, it closely integrates theoretical criticism with emancipatory paths, boasting both ideological depth and practical enlightenment.

Important Declaration

This work is currently an unpublished research manuscript and remains in the stage of improvement and development. All views, frameworks, and expressions herein are preliminary research results, which will be continuously revised and optimized based on academic exchange feedback.



 

Seems like there are a few people on leftypol interested in this subject so I thought I'd create a thread dedicated to discussing the Wydna collective and Pseudodoxology podcast
>What is Wydna?
Wydna is a research collective dedicated to reading history through a unique lens. Taking inspiration from Marxism and Accelerationism, Kantbot and other members of the collective dedicate themselves to uncovering the conspiracies, traditions and ideologies that circle the elites of the British and American Empires. Through their podcast, they discuss secret societies, scandals, and factions of the deep state in a fashion considered unconventional to our current interpretation of history.
>That sounds great, where can I learn more?
Their episodes are paywalled, so that's why I'm making this thread. I will be uploading some of their more noteworthy episodes on request here for those who aren't interested in paying the 5$ a month on patreon.
You can listen to their most popular episodes for free on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/45p4IYDT96zuulXl1oH5wW?si=4uuH0B85RjWbbqdEmnwQkw
And I will be filling this thread with links to episodes I consider noteworthy.
I'll start by uploading their episode on the history of political economy, which is 7 hours, so I'll be breaking the audio up into several parts. This post, OP, contains the first 3.

lol I wish
Purple monkey dishwasher

I have spent hours listening to KB/wydna and thinking about his overall project. Can't say I'm proud of it, but that's the truth. He's an interesting if frustrating dude. At some level his intellectual commitments are just, like, German media theory and the sociology of knowledge. But at another level he's got this completely shamelessness that lets him dick around with frog twitter and that intersection is basically where his interesting shit comes from.

>kantbot: one of us, a poster, not credible, no rigor.
>Aaron Good: A scholar, sole protege of Peter Dale Scott, academic rigor fwiw, works daily in this field with people of all politics without compromising his own long-declared Marxism.
If you're gonna spend hours in this area, and you should, the choice is clear.

>>22144
lol what the shit I'm sucked in by a necropost.

>>22145
kemono won't let me download the big episodes, requesting a new mega upload pretty please.

>Accelerationism
I only see this term when extreme evil nazis are mentioned. There's left accelerationism too you mean? I guess you could say the RAF was accelerationist but the problems with their strategy have been discussed at length.

is jord pornersen bad for the good thinking? he hates the women (capital) and he saying that we need to be the good people. food of thinking.

maybe he is a bad one because he does liking of capital people sometimes. water of thinking again.

sometime i thinking why life very hard.

Hi!
First time being on /Leftypol/ and have also been a Socialist since 2022. I have been interested in the whole idea of Democratic Socialism/Classical Social-Democracy (ae: Lasalle, Kautsky, Luxembourg) and even Reformism Socialism (Filippo Turati, Michael Harrington).

Though aside from what I could've managed to find online and on sites like marxists.org, are there some more world that you guys can suggest?
Not only stuff related to this philosophy of Marxism but even other books or thinkers of the German/Dutch School, English Fabian Society or even more Radical or Orthodox authors.

>>25689
De Leonnism I suppose, the party being voted in is akin to being a mandate for the proletariat to takeover the means of production, you could say it's anti-reformist social democracy.

Do you guys have any books that highlight the cleverness of Soviet warfare in WW2 that dispute the Zerg rush narrative of the West? As far as I know the allies had all of their information of what was going on on the eastern front from Germans who overembelished their military prowess and downplayed those of the Soviets.

none of these points you made are based on facts and just spewing shit like enemy at the gates, a movie, is a documentary.

>>21573
>The barbarism of the Soviet occupying forces can best be judged by the fact that many thousands of Hungarian men were raped or forced to unnatural excesses by Russian women soldiers. The Reds established a recreation camp near Kecskemét for more than thirty thousand sick and convalescent women members of the Soviet army and the police forces. From this camp, for instance, the Russian women banded together at night and swooped down on the surrounding hamlets, kidnapping the men and sometimes holding them captive for days.
Hawt

>>21581
why does this never happen to me


I also thought they just used "zerg rush" tactics: numbers. The population was high and the people were fighting for their freedom on their own terrain. I don't think the victory was due to some incredible tactician.



 

I was told that this video on 'Hitlers Socialism' by TIK was an absolute gotcha to Marxists and I know his channel and he does some good vids so I thought I'd give it a watch at least and immediately he says he was once a Marxist Socialist and he was taught that stuff at university and then his definition of capitalism is muh free market and that the state manipulating prices and planning stuff therefore means it isn't real capitalism as opposed to, you know, MCM (he correctly points out that yes markets don't equal capitalism automatically), using 2021 right libertarian definitions that would mean that almost any actually existing capitalist economy isn't really capitalist (even neoliberal ones).

Why are they like this, anons? Why are all of these rightoids who say they used to be a Marxist never actually demonstrating that they even took in the basic concepts? Every. Fucking. Time.

hitler explicitly killed the left leaning socialists in his party. anyone who calls hitler a socialist is either a misinformation agent, or historically illiterate (or both).

>>17600
Not true. He made Richard Walter “agricultural Bolshevik” Darre the head of the Reich Food Estate.

>>17598
We live under state-monopoly capital/imperialism where nation-states fight on the world-market as competing capitals. It's capitalism but the economic unit is as much nation-states as firms or families.

You'd be surprised how many Marxists really don't understand their own theory. Also the serious Marxists have always placed conventional (sane) economics first, and Marx was just one contributor to political economy and not the last.

Lolberts know they are lying and revel in the essential act of lying, and they insist you're going to be made to accept it. But, if the truth mattered, why are Marxists incapable of defending their position or anything real? Why does everyone keep allowing this faggotry to continue because we don't have to accept this level of obvious lying. No one bothers because the truth most people see is that they were thrown overboard and told that they're not worthy of existence, and that's all anyone really thinks about; who is selected to live and who is selected to die. That dominates everyone's thinking and that included the Marxists whose theory presupposed such a cosmic struggle.

As far as "Hitler was a socialist" talking points; Hitler advanced an extreme individualist philosophy of struggle for existence in which institutional authority invaded private life. You could be the freest person that ever was as long as you were a Nazi, and it was assumed that if you weren't a Nazi you didn't actually exist and couldn't exist and you had to be edited out of history. You were given unlimited freedom to be a Nazi and all other possible acts were by definition unfree. Under such conditions, no version of socialism worth acknowledging could exist. The state of Bismarck was more socialist than the Nazi thing because all the Nazis did was loot the country and gather all of the gold when the bottom fell out, and they had no other plan. The entire point of Nazism is to repudiate both the concept of a nation and anything socialist, and replace it with that gaudy show and screaming faggotry. It's pointless to speak of farcical "what is socialism" arguments because the Nazis said over and over that privatization and free enterprise were glorious in of themselves and culled the weak, and there literally couldn't be "society" as such. There was only what Nazis told you reality would be and you weren't allowed to speak of what anything was without the shrieking of said faggots.

fwiw it sounds like a cool book, kinda describes why I'm more active in union agitation than the yDSA

Here’s the breakdown for using a 1960s-style acoustic coupler with a BBS today:

Rule number one is POTS Line Needed. Your coupler needs a real analog POTS line. Modern “phone jacks” in homes often run VoIP, which almost always breaks acoustic couplers because of digital compression and latency. If you can get a genuine POTS line (some rural telcos still offer them, or you could use an old FXS adapter with analog output), it can work.


Couplers maxed out around 300 baud (maybe 1200 with later models). That’s extremely slow: transferring a 1 MB file could take hours, so keep your expectations realistic. Most classic BBS content (text messages, ANSI art, small files) works fine at these speeds.

Acoustic couplers don’t dial automatically. You have to pick up the handset, dial the BBS number manually and place the handset on the coupler. Some couplers eventually had “automatic dialing units,” but that’s extra hardware.

Most BBS software from the late 70s–80s assumes a serial modem. You’ll need a terminal program on your “modem” side (the computer feeding the acoustic coupler) and a BBS running on a line that’s active and accepting analog connections.

If you have a vintage computer and coupler: connect coupler to handset, pick up, dial, place handset and configure terminal program for 300 baud, 8N1 (8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit). On the BBS side, a POTS line with a real serial modem listens for connections.

This works on retro hardware.



 

What would you introduce? Personally, I would build a spark gap transmitter. That was possible with Roman tech. The first pic is the transmitter.

Steam engine (left)
>Brass boiler with pipes, valves, and a flywheel
>Generates mechanical rotational energy from steam
>Drives the belt system via a crank

Belt-driven generator (center)
>Large vertical rollers/drums with a rough hemp or linen belt running over them
>Belt friction against the rollers or pads generates static electricity (triboelectric effect)
>The bottom drum is connected mechanically to the steam engine flywheel
>Tensioning rod/axle keeps belt tight

Metal combs / contacts
>Positioned near the moving belt (small brass posts)
