I see a lot of reading lists with a link to a dead group chat that put the onus entirely on the reader to sort through the books. There need to be more reading guides that include some responses or recent articles about a book along with chapter questions so readers learn not to slog through a book without knowing whether they truly learned anything.

A pamphlet, even offline, should be a doorway into the hypertext world of the history of socialist praxis. It should mention a book or a website for those interested in the message to continue learning about what they just read, but there needs to be something there to actually receive them. For instance entry level well-cited history books that deconstruct imperialist history or "international relations" or neoliberal "economics". Helps back up a message. But websites and e documents are still not used to their full educational potential by much of the left.

I think ban messages should always cite and link to a rule, the banning interface should make that an easy task, letting you check off a few reasons, with an "Other: [text]” area. The ban message should contain the rule citations and a custom message. This would lead people to receive bans in a less arbitrary manner. Arbitrary bannings are likely to make people disregard rules entirely, in my experience.

There are plenty of ostensibly Marxist organizations that function as alt-media outlets and generic activist NGOs for liberal causes. There are few online spaces actually educating socialists rather than browbeating them. Best not to learn by example from contemporary activist organizations and online spaces frankly. Look at what works everywhere, not what exists, failing in the first world.

Cyberspace will be beautiful again one day. Datacenters, undersea cables, and nuclear reactors for EVERYONE! EVERYONE!

The alliance may have been revitalized, but have the member countries been revitalized? You must have your nose buried in stock market-based numbers rather than quality of life, true consumer price inflation, housing costs, and personal debts. The western world has greatly burdened itself in the hopes of bringing down the Russian standard of living, and it sure isn't conclusive that is working, and it's undeniable it has failed to achieve the political goals NATO countries shot for, especially weakening the great necromancer Putler himself.

Russia is not just this blob of ooze that wants to consume more land. It took them a decade to come to the aid of the regions that the Bandera worshipping post-Maidan government turned on, and much of the Ukrainian army defected to.

That would be nice, I think you're right. I don't think they are serious though, sadly.

They are all buying and selling that information to each other, any door you leave open will be used by all of the major datamininers of the western world due to their many agreements.

Actually, leading with the electrical attacks is the wrong way to remind you how insane you are, since no amount of damage to Ukraine will cause you to flinch. You seem like the type who would only flinch at a strategic nuclear exchange. You probably haven't noticed that Russia has promised to apply more pressure in the Middle East/West Asia region against US forces. You cannot just take potshots at them from a safe distance, US forces are deployed in a global occupation!
