The Black Book of capitalism Beta edition BBOCAnon 27-11-22 17:24:51 No. 13769 [View All]
After three months of labor, I present you the current state of the translation project of the french Black Book of Capitalism from 1998.
The raw traduction is completed, the work is in the process of being proofread to enhance the general english level. So far two benevolent English speakers manifested their interest in this endeavour, one of them already corrected the Foreword and Introduction.

This thread will be used as a hub to update the progressively the book with the proofreader's input, but also to sketch the specification of an enhanced edition of the BBOC, as well as gathering material in this regard, because after a few more decades of neoliberalism, some updates would be welcome. Furthermore as some people remarked, the book is far from exhaustive.

>>13871 not a bad idea, and would make good use of the LaTeX code we already have

>>13874 >Pierre Brocheux et Daniel Hémery, Indochine, la colonisation ambiguë I just got that in french. I'll post it in the following.
I'll translate it in the next weeks. There should be stuff interesting for the enhanced edition and will kill time until I got news from proofreaders.

Actually, if I notice any minor spelling/grammar/typo issues, should I make a pull request to the git repo, or just post them here?

>>13882 if you know your way around git then it'll be easier if you just fix it immediately. I could give you push access to the repo if you like. undoing any bad commits is easy enough
also I just pushed some things I had laying around

>>13885 >Yep sweet, just add me (Discomrade) and I'll push anything that's a simple typo or grammar fix. done
>>13886 >That's literrally what you do to birds before cooking them I've been studying animal slaughter lately, and usually what you do is cut around the anus. you don't try to finagle the intestine out through it. once you've cut through the pelvic floor extracting the innards is easier. cutting up the abdomen is also a possibility, and it only leaves you with the sphincter and the last bit of intestine attached to it. not that you bother with that for fowl, at least not wild fowl, because almost all the meat is in the breast
now if the French were actually doing what I describe then that's even more heinous. because rather than a severe case of prolapse, you're cutting around the asshole. now I'm no torture expert but isn't the idea that the victim shouldn't outright die from it? there's some large blood vessels nearby, not to mention the chock alone is probably enough to do someone in. fucking frogs man

>>13886 Fucking copyrighting bastards. The EU sucks. It's bad enough that z-library got taken away by the FBI.
>>13888 >fucking frogs man Cannibalizing political prisoners was really prominent in colonial eras. The whole idea with deadly torture is instilling fear and obedience.

>>20966 there's a bajillion ways of doing cover pages in LaTeX itself. you can also do it with some external program then use pdfjam to join it with other pdfs
>>20969 I've had in mind to create a thread on the main board about this to try and drum up some proofreading interest again
