Sorry, I didn’t mean that the issue is with the peertube channel. I meant that if the problem is just with the intro, you could download the video, crop the intro out, and reupload it to your own channel instead of asking/waiting for the original channel to reupload it.

Hmm. Maybe the core guide could remain comprehensive but have multiple “fast tracks”? Like a Marxist Feminism fast-track that takes only the most necessary readings from the first sections and jumps to a focus on feminism. Or an imperialism fast-track that gives you the most direct and shortest route to understanding imperialism in the 21st century, etc.

This might work with different target audiences who are curious about the ML stance on certain issues, but are not convinced or interested enough to do, for example, 40 hours of reading to understand why you say that the EU is an imperialist project but China is not.

I’m sure you already considered something similar, I read the comments you wrote on thinking about separating history to another list, but I’m not sure. Just a thought.

Can’t the video just be cropped to remove the introduction and reuploaded on a different peertube channel?

When can we pre-order the hardcover? I hope it comes with free shipping because it’ll probably weigh as much as a microwave.

Isn’t this how it’s always worked? I think it’s the same with lemmy.world where you can see comments from .world users on Lemmygrad but they can’t see your replies.

Jimmy Carter has been the only president that hasn’t been a complete fuckwad

Old man Biden did well as president

USians considering people from the Global South as less than human exhibit number 32 quadrillion.

Just FYI, .world users can’t see replies from lemmygrad accounts.

I kept it short because I considered it obvious

Classic.

I’m not disagreeing, I meant for The Principles of Communism specifically because it’s such a short read. If most people read it just once it would save so much time that’s usually spent clearing up misconceptions in conversations.

I wish most people would start with that instead of the Manifesto of the Communist Party (or “The Communist Manifesto” as most people call it). It gets through most of the misconceptions in a much faster and simpler way. I like that you have it listed first in your reading list.

At the very least it would get people to start grasping what communism even is, instead of them creating vibes-based strawmen in their heads that they argue against.
