Lemmy.ml is interesting, it’s a reference to Marxism-Leninism

Is it really? Others have said it isn't, that it's just because .ml domains were free.

Hey. I'm the creator of ComLib, I haven't been making any EPUBs for some time, but I want to get back into it. Do you have anything you want made into an EPUB? If you don't, do you have any recommendation for what I should work on next?

I was going to say something like This Soviet World or Russian Justice, but they are not actually history books. They are written from a contemporary standpoint. Pat Sloans Soviet Democracy is another contemporary book.

I'm sure cowbee will link you to Blackshirts and reds, that is a history book.

Queer liberation, not rainbow capitalism!

Right, you were using communism as a movement, not the higher stage, in which case it makes more sense.

No where did you get 7500??? Holy shit, that would be nearly 10 million people. (assuming somewhere around 160 million total pop)

human nature will ensure that it will never be successful

Human nature is to be kind and helpful. Humans are social creatures. We wouldn't have survived for thousands of years if everyone said "fuck you got mine".

Even if that were true, you are saying we should continue with the system that rewards stuff like greed, rather than try to have a system that doesn't. "Human nature" is an argument for socialism/communism.

prosperity

agony-soviet

Nearly all of the post-Soviet states suffered deep and prolonged recessions after shock therapy, with poverty increasing more than tenfold. Catastrophic drops in caloric intake followed the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

Kindly, a person who was born in the absolute ass-hair dingleberry that was the USSR.

How old are you, if I may ask?
