Damn that’s crazy that the country full of nazis and the fascist military industrial complex masquerading as a country arming them with billions of dollars worth of weapons would be the only two in the world to vote against the glorification of nazism. Totally wild. Oh and they vote against it every time, for years? Wow got to wonder what’s up with that.

Buddy I’m not going to vote for a genocider. My grandparents were made to be refugees by the same entity bombing the same region supplied by the same American military industry with the same imperialist aims. I’m starting to think the genocidal imperialism isn’t down to just one single president. Reading these kinds of posts from comfortable people who have never experienced what it’s like to be on the receiving end of this shit drives me up the wall. You have no idea what you’re talking about yet you can’t just stay silent because of some irresistible urge to be smug on the internet.

The Russian Federation is not communist I have no idea why you keep saying that. As for China, try to learn something today and read this

Unless I stop people at the door they will generally walk straight into my house tracking dirt all over my very pretty rugs. I don’t understand how so many people can apparently live like that at their own place it’s so nasty.

If you think watching youtube and “connecting the dots” of forum comments is educating yourself you are even more ignorant than I had assumed. Learn history from reputable historians. Become familiar with even basic Marxist economics. Those are things that are actually meaningful and enlightening unlike poorly thought out youtube videos that primarily exist to hunt for low effort clicks. You’re just cruising on pure vibes based analysis without any of the underlying knowledge of the subject.

You know if you’re going to call everyone who disagrees with you stupid you should at least have a single point in any of your posts. It just doesn’t land the way you’re doing it here.

Thanks for coming right out of the gate raving about tankies so that everyone can just discard your opinion without wasting any time. Maybe participate in good faith. Ask for book recommendations to educate yourself. Or just keep using the liberal version of “everything I hate is because of woke” and remain ignorant forever. Up to you champ.

I really appreciate you hand sending this extremely funny comment straight to my inbox, thanks. Normally I’d have to scroll through some straight up boring shit to find a nugget like this.

Even just reading the abstract would make it clear why I sent you that link.

Those countries does/did not operate as communist states the way that Marx and other political theorists imaginend them.

The article details the way in which socialist theory has been implemented throughout points in history and compares and contrasts with the modern Chinese methods. It is not “just a label” as you casually threw out earlier. China has used the productive forces of capital to rapidly modernize, however they do not allow capital to be turned into political power which results in a government that is shielded from a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie forming like we have in every capitalist country. Their capital accumulation is actually used to massively better the lives of the people who live there because they have a real say in what goes on.

if you want an analysis of China that isn’t just based on vibes

Love reading liberals play with their words. Like bud you don’t have to log on and start writing things about subjects you clearly aren’t well studied in. You can actually choose to just not do that lol

For some reason people who don’t read theory / materialist history really don’t understand how incredibly silly comments like Nemo’s come across to those who do.

Found the pamphlet. He posted it to stupidpol a month ago

It’s not they probably just don’t know about soulseek / nicotine+

It’s just so much better than any other method I have to assume anyone using these overly complicated methods just doesnt know

Just the idea of downloading playlists instead of albums / discographies feels so incredibly icky to me

Some people will have share requirements but I don’t think enough do to make getting started a problem. All of my stuff is totally unrestricted so if you like death metal / jazz I can help you out.

Not sure if there is a guide out there but it’s pretty easy and I can help you through it. First you’ll need to make an account name and password. I remember it prompting for it the first startup but if not look through the options. Then you’ll want to set the path to your music library in preferences -> shares. These are the files that you’re making available to people searching and downloading. Then go to preferences -> downloads -> folders. I like to set my download folder as separate from my music library so that I can standardize it to my naming conventions, clean up metadata, and place it directly into my Artist - Album folder hierarchy, but you could probably get by with just setting this to your music library directly if you aren’t in to that side of things. You can also set things like upload and queue limits and all that while in the preferences tab. Then just go to the “search files” tab and it’s pretty easy to find what you want. I usually just go with “[album title] flac” and that’s enough to get it 95% of the time even for obscure stuff. Pick an uploader based on speed / how nicely organized the files are, then just right click the folder name -> download folder and it will move over to the download tab.

Realized right after typing this out that there is a setup assistant at help -> setup assistant. Probably way more helpful than I am but feel free to ask anything else if you need to!

soulseek is still the best. Use the Nicotine+ and it’s even better.

Same thing - their economy is entirely based on petroleum extraction and processing.
