Excellent and informative post! I'm a technicality lover myself!

Can you explain how elections work in the country? Who are these delegates? How did they reach that position?

The only problem I see is when it affects or disrupts a community, like spamming stuff or something, besides that, promoting oneself is a natural thing to do

Is this the right community for this post?

El Buró Político del Comité Central del Partido Comunista de Venezuela (PCV) hace un llamado a las fuerzas genuinamente democráticas, populares y patrióticas a unir fuerzas para defender la voluntad del pueblo venezolano que se expresó este domingo 28 de julio con una clara intención de cambio político en el país.

Alertamos a la opinión pública internacional que así como el Gobierno de Nicolás Maduro ha despojado al pueblo venezolano de sus derechos sociales y económicos, hoy pretende privarlo de sus derechos democráticos.

La denuncia de un supuesto intento de vulneración del sistema electoral, hecha por el presidente del Consejo Nacional Electoral (CNE), Elvis Amoroso, lejos de brindar las garantías necesarias al proceso, profundizan las dudas sobre los resultados presentados al país. En tal sentido, exigimos al CNE la publicación de la totalidad de las actas de votación ─tal y como lo establece el reglamento electoral─ así como la máxima transparencia en el escrutinio de los resultados.

La proclamación de Nicolás Maduro como presidente reelecto bajo este escenario de incertidumbre en el que los resultados presentados por Amoroso contrastan abiertamente con el ánimo que imperó durante la jornada electoral, no es más que una provocación que abre paso a la configuración de situaciones de violencia.

En estos momentos se registran espontáneas movilizaciones populares en distintos puntos del país. Desde el PCV no solamente respaldamos el clamor de respeto a la voluntad popular, sino que hacemos un llamado a las fuerzas militares y policiales a no reprimir al pueblo.

En estas horas decisivas para el presente y futuro del país, las y los comunistas ratificamos nuestra convicción de construir espacios de amplia unidad para fortalecer la lucha por la recuperación de la Constitución y el estado de derecho en Venezuela.

¡Gobierne quien gobierne, los derechos se defienden!

Caracas, 29 de julio de 2024

TL;DR: They are questioning the legitimacy of Maduro as a winner, claiming he is undermining voting rights, while ignoring the growing right-wing reaction and coup attempt against Maduro

PCV is basically voicing reaction, to the point they even use liberal wording about "democratic rights" in a bourgeois state

 

On July 18th, 2024, after almost a week of discussions, the editorship elected comrades General_KJ and ulaan to the position of administrators with an unanimous 16 votes!

The main reason for this is to fulfill demands of a growing project. This was an initiative of the founder admins, me and Critical, and we brought the discussions to the editorship so we could elect members there.

To me, personally, this is a great achievement. Years ago, when I first created ProleWiki, with my own money and labor, I promoted the project in Lemmygrad, sharing my thoughts on the development, issues, demands, etc. Though I was a bit more idealistic back then about the future of the project, I had a correct reasoning:

We hope that in about a year or so, ProleWiki is able to exist without me individually and becomes a valuable resource to revolutionaries from all over the world, socially owned by all contributors.

It definitely took longer than a year 😂, but we managed to do that, and now even more so. We will be training the newly elected admins over time so that they can fulfill demands on every aspect of the project. That way, ProleWiki can be much more resilient against anything that may happen with an individual admin's personal life or health. Giving the CIA a harder time trying to shut us down 😁

Welcome, comrades General_KJ and ulaan!

I sincerely can't... I can only see what appears to be blood smeared all over his intact ear

 

Recently, we started using a MediaWiki extension which helps us "moderate" edits coming from those who do not have accounts. This help us prevent spam and vandalism from ever reaching front pages, while allowing those who don't have accounts to contribute to collective knowledge.

The Chinese economic model is already completely planned, the difference is that the market is part of their plan. Each enterprise plan on their own (and medium to large ones already have the presence of communist party members in the planning process), and at the same time, the country directs development through investment.

We've always noticed something odd with user @[email protected], but we haven't formalized any space for discussion about them.

People have noticed they are apparently collecting info about us and our community. Have you interacted with this user? What do you think about it?

Not really, no. In some aspects, yes.

The reason the Soviets didn't last was mostly political and less economic. Both things are never isolate, anyways, but the Soviet Union could've lasted indefinitely if the leadership honestly spent effort solving problems. Instead, they openly adopted a capitalist line and sabotaged the country in the last moments. This had nothing to do with the economy of the country.

The Soviets also spearheaded space exploration and satellite technology, before capitalist economies reproduced these achievements. This was a thriving economy in the 20th century, obviously very efficient, showing enough surplus to advance innovative research. Development of production at a scale unparalleled in history.

The Chinese political economic tactic to survive in a capitalist landscape was basically concentrating production and population (increased market demand) and thus making all countries essentially dependent on China and its market so that it could have the freedom to develop its own mode of production unlike the USSR. This was a certainly a step ahead of the Soviets, to which capitalist countries so far haven't found any solution to respond with. Because attacking China is attacking the whole world market, so capitalist countries can't do anything about it without also destroying themselves in the process.

Market allocation decentralizes research because every bourgeois is competing with each other for a more efficient production and marketing. You don't need someone to oversee the operation of a company and conceive of ways to make it more efficient. The fact that (petty) bougies do it is because they are directly attached to the company and its profits. They are the ones who directly benefit from it, so they are very interested in that. So markets can advance the development of productive forces in some industries.

The problem is that it obviously allows exploitation of the proletariat and concentration of capital, resulting in a myriad of social problems. It also risks giving the bourgeoisie too much power, which should be constantly put in check to make sure capital cannot touch the political institutions.

TL;DR: The Soviets at its peak (60's - 70's) had a superior model in terms of development of productive forces compared to the capitalist economies and in terms of relations of production, while the Chinese has a superior model in terms of strategy.

Marxist theory on the underclass suggests that the ruling class actually need a large class of underclass, unemployed homeless people.

They are arresting them. The US prison system employs prison labor for profit. This essentially makes them "employed" and "sheltered".
It's a drive for profit and capital accumulation, using prison labor to maintain profit rates.

The Supreme Court on Friday sided with a small Oregon town that imposes civil punishments on homeless people for sleeping in public spaces, finding that enforcement of its anti-camping rules is not prohibited by the Eighth Amendment’s protections from cruel and unusual punishment.

The 6-3 decision from the court in the case known as City of Grants Pass v. Johnson is its most significant involving homelessness in decades. It comes as cities nationwide grapple with a spike in the number of people without access to shelter, driven in part by high housing costs and the end of aid programs launched in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Camaradas, gostaria de convidá-los para solicitar uma conta na ProleWiki, assim podemos desenvolver uma base de conhecimento marxista.

O potencial de desenvolvermos uma enciclopédia para agregar conhecimentos, analisar países, empresas, eventos históricos, partidos, organizações, etc., é excepcional. Nosso conhecimento individual assim se torna coletivo.

O processo para solicitar uma conta e entrar pode ser maçante... Afinal, por ser uma enciclopédia marxista-leninista, é preciso ser criterioso com quem entra. Mas uma vez que vc está dentro, pode contribuir escrevendo de pouquinho, como todos os outros, e com o tempo, os artigos se desenvolverão.

Junte-se à nós!

Hello there, comrades!

A few ProleWiki editors are focusing their efforts to expand our articles on Laos. We're looking for sources to base our articles on, so that we'll have more material to work with. If you know anything, be it an article or a book, or a website, please, let us know! Your suggestions will help us refine our article on the country.

Another thing, we're holding a book club on Revolution in Laos: Practice and Prospects, which does a good job on detailing the history of the country and its revolutionary movement, which we can all learn from to apply to our revolutionary tactics (though not strategy). If you're interested in doing this reading with us, join our Discord server and let us know you're from Lemmygrad and you're there to join the book club, and we'll put you right in as a book club member!

Thank you!

Hello, comrades!

I'm here again to proudly announce that we've established a Persian language ProleWiki, managed and developed by our Iranian comrades @[email protected] and TheSinnerOne. Their selfless contributions are a testament to the unwavering dedication and perseverance of our comrades in delivering a service to the international proletariat.

The expansion of our encyclopedia into Persian not only signifies the growing reach of our revolutionary knowledge but also symbolizes the unity and solidarity of comrades across languages, and cultures. And to think ProleWiki started with only myself in September 2020... And now we're spanning and delivering content up to 8 different languages, with editors from all over the world!

It reminds me of an excerpt of Pablo Neruda's poem, To my party, which I will highlight:

You have given me fraternity towards those I do not know.
You have added to me the strength of all who live.
You have given me again the homeland as in a birth.
You have given me the freedom that the solitary does not have.
You taught me to kindle kindness, like fire.
You gave me the righteousness that the tree needs.
You taught me to see the unity and difference of men.
You showed me how the pain of one being has died in the victory of all.
You taught me to sleep in the hard beds of my brothers.
You made me build on reality as on a rock.
You made me the adversary of the wicked and the wall of the frantic.
You made me see the clarity of the world and the possibility of joy.
You have made me indestructible because with you I do not end in myself.

And indeed, ProleWiki did not end in myself! Long live the international collaboration between comrades!

 

With the help of our comrade Syntrofos, we have opened a Greek language ProleWiki! Of course, since we have just opened it, you shouldn't expect to find much, except an article on Marxism-Leninism at the moment. Irrespective of that, having an open Greek wiki will allow people speaking that language to contribute with the wiki independent of the English language instance.

Our editors have done an excellent job in ProleWiki, but it's a job that is never really finished. There will always be something to add, a fact, a specific knowledge, and it's wonderful that we are opening up to further languages so more people from more places can know about our project and contribute to them.

All glory to the comrades at ProleWiki! Thank you comrade Syntrofos for your work!

 

Special thanks to comrades @[email protected], @[email protected] and @[email protected]. Your patience and assistance were honorable

Right now, registration is closed and probably will continue to be closed for a while. Only editors can choose to have an account with the ProleWiki handle.

Now for step two: implementing a matrix-discord bridge. May take me a while 🥲

 

We can no longer ignore there are Matrix users among our editorship, who prefer it over Discord for various reasons, some being they had to use VPN, they prefer Matrix for privacy and security, or simply because they hate Discord for some reason

There's also the problem our organization is currently intrinsically tied with Discord. So if we ever "found" to "break the rules" of the "community guidelines," which is always a bullshit excuse for censorship, we will face a major setback in our organization before we re-organize ourselves more autonomously.

Having a Matrix server and channels neatly organized can be a safe backup from such a setback, but the major reason we (and by this I mean mostly myself) are currently researching into implementing a Matrix server, is to host a bridge which would allow seamless communication between our Matrix and Discord members

Comrade @[email protected] from GenZedong has generously offered support in implementing the server, but neither of us knew how to configure the Apache webserver, which is the stack used by ProleWiki, and I'm currently stuck figuring this out. She has also set up a Matrix-Discord bridge herself for us to use, but it's safer for us to host one ourselves, to avoid leaving the server dependent on other servers.

Instead of requesting for a single person, anyone willing to help, please do so in the comments, and I'll answer you. I will share some information about our server configuration in the process, and since any conversation here is public, try not to ask any sensitive information.

I think this way more people can chime in and help us out, I've been having headaches with this 🥲

Camaradas, queria apresentá-los a um projeto ainda em estágios iniciais, mas que se propõe ser uma enciclopédia política sobre diversos assuntos, a partir de uma leitura marxista-leninista (ou marxista, no caso, já que o leninismo se refere principalmente à práxis revolucionária, algo que está além do escopo de uma enciclopédia).

A seção portuguesa da nossa enciclopédia precisa de editores para desenvolver artigos. Vocês têm alguma sugestão de onde podemos recrutar?
