That fake Stalin quote isn’t wrong tbh.
When the 6 people in the titan sub went missing, western govts moved heaven and earth to mount an extensive rescue operation despite knowing full well they most likely imploded.
Meanwhile, thousands die each year crossing the Mediterranean, and the same governments show nothing but contempt for them.

Even in Stalin’s time, there was collective leadership. The western idea of a dictator within the communist system is exaggerated. Misunderstandings on that subject are caused by the lack of comprehension of the real nature and organization of the Communist power structure. Stalin, although holding wide powers, was merely the captain of a team, and it seems obvious that Krushchev will be the new captain.
Firstly, how do you consider China to be a fascist nation?
Secondly, When since 1990 did “tankies” uncritically support Russia?
Thirdly, assuming you manage to establish even a remotely socialist government, how would you go about ensuring its survival against embargoes, espionage, invasion, counterrevolution, etc without ending up like Allende or Lumumba?
Fourthly, what the hell even is that graphic? Assuming you’re supposed to overlay the political compass on top (which is a poorly designed and arbitrary graph that doesn’t have room for nuance anyway), What right wing economic arguments do you think we promote? Because I’m pretty sure the abolition of private property isn’t something Friedman, let alone Hitler, particularly agreed with.
Fuck right off with this infighting and division bullshit you’re pushing. What does this serve to achieve other than divide the left and prevent it from organising and taking action?
The only reason “tankies” are “authoritarian” (two words that have lost any meaning at this point), is because after seeing repeated examples throughout history where liberal socialist movements have fallen and collapsed to capitalist backed fascist militias and infiltration, they are willing to do what it takes to ensure the socialist state lasts long enough against counterrevolution to begin building the foundations for a truly free socialist society.
Even if that means a few dead monarchs, billionaires, and fascists along the way, then I have no objection against those whom you call “tankies”.

Can confirm. With a dog who sheds enough hair to build a statue of himself every week, a robot vacuum has been a great help. Just make sure to get one with a self-emptying bin, or your gonna be emptying it yourself after every lap around the house, and it’ll be more tedious than just vacuuming yourself.
Atleast use a Caesar’s cypher to stop casual snoopers. Storing passwords in plaintext is bad, no matter the location or medium in which its stored.
The app looks nice, but most of its features are locked behind a subscription, and still just uses google maps as its base.
I do like Organic maps, but it doesn’t have live bus timings and multi-bus route calculation like google does, so I still occasionally have to use that instead.
Fortunately I’m on GOS, and can atleast restrict gmaps from seeing my GPS location, but they’re still able to guess where I am and where im going and build data points to sell or hand over to cops based on which bus routes I look at.
Although, from an ecological point of view, asteroid mining and orbital manufacturing plants would be a good way of offloading the environmental costs of a post-scarcity society.

As well as this, GrapheneOS also supports automatic rebooting for if your phone is taken by force. As once you’ve logged in from a cold boot, your data is in a vulnerable state where cops can access it without needing your passcode. With GOS, you can specify an amount of time for the phone to wait since the most recent login, and once that time has passed, it will automatically reboot the phone, placing your data back into the cold and secure state, so that the cops must then acquire your passcode from you, at which point you’d be able to give them the duress pin and ensure that the data is removed safely.
Brother has great drivers, and cheap printers, but if you need an inkjet for colour printing, make sure you get one with an ink-tank instead of a cartridge system.
Ink bottles are DRM free so you can always use third-party ink, and even the manufacturers own ink bottles are typically much, much, much cheaper per ml than cartridges, although the upfront cost of the printer can be quite a bit higher because of that.
Personally, I have an Epson ET-8550, which I mainly use for photography. Its been fairly reliable, and I’ve had no issues using it with Linux. I filled it up with ink when I bought it, and even after a little more than year of use, its still got a over a quarter of its original ink remaining. I probably spent multiple times more for stationary paper than I do in ink for it.
