A quick note on the video @ >>>/leftypol/1538283
Also [vid related] for archival purposes

Around the 29 minute mark Peterson criticizes Marx and Engel's for assuming that workers would magically become more productive once they took over.

This actually happened historically, most of the actually effective productivity tricks work places use now were developed by Stakhanovites.

Hello, I'm a user of the now-partnered leftist wiki Leftypedia. I have notice that, despite the partnership and purpose to give leftist ideals to beginners, the wiki have less than three active users (I'm included). I haven't seen anyone talk about leftypedia since the old Miraheze wiki lost its motivation. I have learned from the independent wiki's admin that the wiki itself could be deleted due to costing. Generally, I'm here to see what you users think of the independent wiki with pretty of articles so far?

Read this book right now
A major problem I've been noticing through the years is that nobody fucking understands what dialectical materialism actually is. This book is entirely about explaining dialectical materialism.
Of course, it speaks of the philosophies that come before it but only to explain dialectical materialism itself (this is by itself a dialectical process, btw)

Read this shit and spread it!

Best books about the actual practice of political action, protest, resistance, revolution, etc? I'm looking for stuff that isn't purely theoretical but is somewhat based on history, comparative studies, etc. and tackles actual concrete action and not just vague gestures towards it. It doesn't have to be full on polisci or anything tho. I asked CuckGPT for some suggestions and it recommended me two books written by actual CIA assets lul

Is there any Soviet authors or even just any socialist authors that were performatively masculine.

Not that they were Masculine but that what they wrote, it was all about the masculine figure.
Best examples are: Ernest Hemingway, Yukio Mishima

How would you go about learning about solar? Do you know of any useful material to learn about it? I'd love to learn more about the different technologies involved and about the installation of solar panels and power generation. Maybe this knowledge can be put into practice to help one's local community. I'm sure there's lots of solid state physics and electronics involved, but any advice would be more than welcome!

HIIII its me ERVA!!
I've come to complain about my experience with college and schooling as a whole. As a bonus I posted some pics of my books.

But anyway Ill keep it short and sweet, college feels like an extension the same bullshit I dealt with in high school.

I was expecting college to be more focused on writing in depth essays/proofs and reading big large books and writing summaries and drawing diagrams for the professor. In reality though school has been thoroughly taken over by online bullshit, online assignment sheets that you fill in the answers for.
I'm fine with repetition, in fact repetition is actually good for learning at times, but this just feels lazy, and it blocks actual learning it feels like for me.

Idk, I guess I've just been so accustomed to self study and doing writing summaries and essays according to what the books Ive read that it feels really weak by comparison.

I've told my parents how I feel and they say that I just gotta wait till I get into a more advanced class, but idk If I really have the patience for that :(.

Honestly the one thing I am currently going to school for to learn, medical stuff (surgery) may not even be necessary.
I really really wanna learn brain surgery, but honestly college just seems so boring and a barrier to actual learning that I might just try to learn surgery outside of school.
Of course theres books on it, but for something like that I'd need actual samples to work on.
