  • Old English translations holding back theory?

    Jump

  • I wonder if it would be feasible to do with machine translation (such as through an LLM with specific prompting to not mess up the terminology) + voluntary review from some of our members.

    Maybe we could have a pilot with a very short work such as "Wage Labor and Capital", for example.

  • Usually you'd just briefly mash the beans with the back of a fork or a potato masher.

  • You can make wraps with a good spread and whatever ingredients you have on hand. Hummus or pesto are always solid choices.You could use tofu or mock salami or chickpeas, canned beans, etc. and something like spinach or mushrooms or tomatoes or whatever.In many countries you can find "high protein" tortilla wraps in most supermarkets, which are pretty good.

    Another direction you could go is pancakes. I think they're considered breakfast food in the US.

  • Thank you for the very in-depth response! This has me even more hyped up :)

    I think you have a great read on how to make the list(s) as useful and accessible as possible for different audiences (though I do share your worry on the potential 'fedbait' aspect of some sections).

    Once you are comfortable with a more-or-less 'finalised' version of the list, would you like to see this turn into more of a team or community project?Less so in terms of changing the content, rather having contributors with different skills and focuses such as localisation, hosting a website or a wiki, collecting and digitising books, 'marketing' so-to-say by designing posters, stickers, or even shareable memes, etc.

    I wonder if it could become a canonical list for something like Prolewiki as it would already mesh well with things Prolewiki already does such as the library and collecting ebooks, as well as adding editor's notes to existing works. Maybe @CriticalResist8@lemmygrad.ml could share their thoughts on this.

  • New edition of the introductory Marxist-Leninist reading list in the works?

    Lemmy user Cowbee is well-known for their tireless efforts in educating the wider Lemmy community on Marxist-Leninist positions and theory. They are also the author and maintainer of the renowned "Read Theory, Darn it!" introductory Marxist-Leninist reading list.

    The reading list has received much praise from long-time MLs, newcomers, and curious liberals alike, earning the recommendation of prominent users such as Lemmy developer and .ml admin Dessalines. At the time of writing, the reading list has amassed over 320 upvotes on Lemmy.ml.

    It was first published on November 12th 2024 and has undergone significant changes since then. It has undergone two major revisions, the latest of which was in August of 2025. For comparison, one of the earliest versions can be found on a crosspost to lemmy.world from November 29th 2024.

    We have recently received information from credible sources that a third major revision of the reading list might be just around the corner.

    What can we expect from revision 3?

    We can only speculate in this section, but Cowbee has previously provided hints as to what changes we might expect. Cowbee has expressed on multiple occasions that they would like to bring the reading time down to 50 hours[1][2]. The list currently sits around 60 hours total reading time. They have also hinted at possibly splitting the list, creating a separate history-focused list[3][4]. This idea has however faced some pushback from the community[5][6].

    It is difficult to predict the exact changes that will be made, but in a more general sense, according to Cowbee, the goal of the third revision would be "to make the guide more lean, readable, and remove overlap as much as possible."[7]

    We have reached out to @Cowbee@lemmygrad.ml for a Lemmygrad exclusive preview of the much-anticipated third revision, and will continue to provide new information as it becomes available.

    This comment is just for fun, don't take it too seriously :)

  • 2% of Americans identify as Communist (6% as Socialist)

    Jump

  • I seriously doubt the results of this poll. It's not conceivable at all that in the US that the numbers of people who self-identify as "communist" and "anarchist" are anywhere near the same.

    If I were to pull a number out of my ass I would assume a difference of around an order of magnitude.

  • I assume the user themselves deleted the post in this case. The way the post itself becomes completely inaccessible after that is very unfortunate, but that's a software rather than administration issue.

    I appreciate the clarification.

  • It happened on a couple occasions before, but I was mainly referring to a post on Ask Lemmygrad that got removed today or yesterday. Though now when I think about it I'm not sure if it was removed by a mod/admin or the user themselves. Lemmy just gives me an error page.

  • I find it quite disappointing when posts on Lemmygrad get deleted when they have valuable comments. Sure, the post itself might be bad or technically break a rule, but if it wasn't removed straight-away and people already put high effort comments on it then it kinda sucks when it gets deleted.

  • I thought EU countries would have more robust worker protections in the case of public transport being disrupted.

    Can you not legally call off work if you can't arrive with public transportation?

  • I wonder how many people would stop drinking milk if they knew it contained white blood cells from the cow. There’s also cells from the lining of the udder. Pasteurization kills it but… it’s still there.

    I doubt anyone would care. People are just used to whatever is normalised on a cultural level. They often eat the inner linings from animals' intestines for sausages, for example. It's also completely normalised to have hacked-off pieces or even entire corpses actively rotting (albeit relatively slowly) inside your fridge; so the concept of disgust doesn't really factor in so long as you're used to it.

    It has also been my experience that people who act concerned about something like soy having phytoestrogens in it suddenly stop caring when it's pointed out to them that cow milk contains actual mammalian estrogen. The "concerns" they often express are rarely genuine.

  • “Available only because her own child was denied it.” I don’t think they care tbh. Unless there’s a psychological effect on the calf here I’m failing to understand why I should care

    This point is usually made because an alarming number of people aren't aware of the basic fact that cows need to be made pregnant in order to produce milk. They believe that cows are just 24/7 milk producing machines, and thus it is no harm to simply just "take" the milk they produce automatically, rather than understanding that you have to separate them from their children who you feed formula while their mothers pine for them.

    Firstly, goat milk is also a thing. Secondly it would make more sense to focus on things humans already consider unethical, i.e, shark fin or ivory. If we can live without those we don’t necessarily need milk either

    Goat milk is nowhere near as ubiquitous as cow milk, so it's not as relevant. Also unlike shark fin or ivory, a large number of people believe that dairy is a necessary part of a healthy diet. This belief is reinforced in schools in many countries, as well as in popular media and culture.

    Vegan arguments such as these are not made in abstract or pulled from thin air, it's because these specific points get brought up by people all the time, even if they do sound very silly to us. I've personally heard variations of these previous two (cows just make milk, dairy is necessary for humans) easily over a hundred times in real life.

    haui I generally appreciate your contributions here, and read your comments with a lot of attention, but that thread had a lot of points that were extremely concerning for me as someone who's not a westerner.

  • I have definitely noticed this as well. The biggest English language used books store in the city has pretty-much nothing of note on that front. It surprisingly (or rather unsurprisingly) has books on how bad and evil Stalin and Mao were in the politics section, lol.
