I think chromebooks are pretty locked down these days. The old ones you can unlock and install Linux on the bare metal are underpowered. 4g RAM and 64g storage typically. I use one as a touch screens for home Assistant and to run Pihole.
I would recommend a Think Pad with 4 cores and 8g RAM from eBay. Should be plenty for your use case and cheap. I have a 10 or 12 year old idea pad that I use about the same way you do and it still running great with PopOs.
Lennin’s “state and revolution” and accepting China as a communist country are in conflict with each other. Most tankies or “Marxist-Lenninist” are distorting both Marx and Lennin. Communism in one country can not exists for long without a global overthrow of the capitalist class. Yes, the state in these various countries control the economy more or less, but who controls the state? My assertion, and most other Trotskyists, is that its not the workers.
Agreed. I’ll come back to this when I’m not as busy. I made a simplistic argument and I’d like to expand on it. Cheers
Yes. Russia from 1917 till about 1928. A slow, but through counter revolution took place.
Sure. Never analyze or critique anything. Got U
https://securityconversations.com/episode/inside-the-deepseek-ai-existential-crisis-chinese-backdoor-in-medical-devices/ If you ignore the kind of laent anti China crap, this is a pretty good analysis from a technical perspective. When someone does something faster and cheaper we used to call that progress. Not if China does it I guess, and not if it’s open source even if Meta did the same thing with llama.
Just download the model. Problem solved
I consider tankies to be on the right end of the socialist spectrum, so when I say it I’m punching right. They’re still comrades even if they are miss guided by state-capitalist governments. Cheers
Idiot that can’t understand that ozone hole is not a problem anymore because of regulations that limited the use of ozone degrading chemicals. Also seems to have zero grasps of thermodynamics. me, shocked
Ops not a bot
Take that, entire-capitalist-system-built-on-burning fossil-fuels-grandma.
Yeah, CEO of Exxon Grandma.
Wow. I guess someone has never actually read Trotsky or anything from Trotskyist. Try some Tony Cliff. Also, how you think Trotskyist sound today is not an indictment of Trotsky. Being critical of a revolution that has failed and the leaders and politics that followed is not the crime you think it is.
Jesus fucking Christ this is not the revolutionary left we need. Grow the fuck up.
edit: That’s funny, either you posted your edit while i was typing my response or I didn’t see it some how. either way. I’m sorry for being such a dick. I’m just so fed up with folks online regarding, what i would call state capitalist countries as genuine socialism, and rejecting any criticism of said states, as capitalist loving trash. Somehow Marxism has become a ridged dogma for these people. With the campist and the tankies distorting revolutionary socialism so much i fell like i live in upside down world. again sorry comrade. I would suggest “the two souls of socialism”. side note Trotsky was Lenin’s pick as leader not Stalin. Had he not “defected” he would likely have been killed by Stalin much earlier, like many of the seasoned former Bolsheviks who lead and then tried to defend the revolution against Stalin.
Tankies forget that Trotsky existed.
Understanding social movements and their development as always…
There were millions of people in the streets yesterday.
