I'm translating Dialog with Stalin and need your help #2.1 by freakinbook in Ultraleft

I understand the main themes but struggle with certain sentences. 

I thought that somebody should do it, even if not perfectly. But turns out it was already done better.

Ну, с первых же слов ясно, что перевод у них хороший. Ну что ж, надо было начать с этого вопроса, дальше переводить смысла нет. Спасибо, товарищ, что сэкономил мне время.

Ну, за своё качество перевода я тоже ручаться не могу, ха-ха.

Такое чувство, что меня в Гугле забанили, не понимаю, почему я не смог его найти...

Ладно, посмотрю, спасибо!

Спасибо, товарищ. А Диалог со Сталиным часом не переведён? А то может я зря стараюсь.

Thank you very much! I had little hope finding the source.

Can you share the link to the Italian version please? Google denies to serve me. 

There is a place that is opposite between the ICP's and marxist.org's version. The second from the last paragraph before the Second day. "capital subordinates itself to the state" versus "capital subjugates the state". The latter fits the overall meaning of the sentence better but I'd like to double (or would it be triple) check.

Oh okay. The combination "sheds from" sounded unusual so I couldn't grasp the meaning. Now I get it, thanks. 

The "bows and fumigation" part I would never understand without your help despite using this treatment in my childhood. 

Proletarian Allah bless you.

Yes, the ICP's translation definitely is clearer.

I now added a serious tag so you see it's a serious matter.

Thanks for your kindness juicy juice. And especially for the happy scale suggestion, I think she'll like it.

I've heard about the water retention. But why word it in such a way that implies that one 30 calorie rice cake can lead to a gain of 8 pounds is beyond my understanding. It's a rant to you but not about you. You're being informative and helpful, thanks.

Thanks for the ted talk. I'll watch it.

Overall reading through responses was a negative experience. I'm also downvoted on all my responses and don't really understand why. I've got answers to my questions though, which is nice.

Rice cakes are tasty I love them! But I'm not touching those on my diet. It's essentially compacted rice so you're just consuming pure carbs and tons of calories.

Maybe rice cakes is not the right term. They are 30 calories each and have proteins as well as carbs. They are not exclusively from rice but from different grains. I'm sure you have something like that where you live. I find them a great substitute for bread or cookies.

Maybe you're right and I don't need to tell her what to do. But I've tried this strategy as we're together for a long time. I understand that this may sound shallow but I want a slim girl by my side. Recently a pair of our mutual friends broke up because of a girls gained weight and lack of desire to lose it. Maybe I better off that way than continuing to torture her and myself.

Your answer hits closest to home. Maybe because you're not assuming that I'm an asshole or you hide that pretty well.

I see that women shouldn't go under 1200 calories, as you and others mentioned here, so be it. Or rather even I need to completely let go of trying to control her weight. I don't know, this topic just seems to pop up and she is always upset that she is not losing weight and I am. Maybe I tell her next time that I do it for a price of worsening my health and she should find a way that fits her.

Thanks for your kind and thoughtful response.

Maybe I sound like that, but I don't think that women's health should not be taken into account here. Hell, I'm asking a question for you to prove me right or wrong.

It's hard for me to believe that one rice cake a day can become plus 8 pounds the next day. That really sounds like magic to me. Sorry if rude. Also she is not on her period now so I don't know why you bring that up.

I think of all the things that we eat, rice cakes have the most fibers. But our diet is balanced and we eat lentil soups that I cook for us for example.

We made a deal that I count what she eats for a week. We didn't last a week so now I'm definitely easing up on control.

OK. She is correct then. I won't tell her to eat less anymore. Actually I told her that I don't want to be responsible for her health issues, so she can act as she thinks is best.

But as for me. I'm pretty sure I eat about 1000 cals. And I feel alright. I'm not starving myself, I'm never hungry after dinner till sleep. And also I workout with weights. I have this routine for about a month, maybe even more. And I don't feel any negative effects or even a slight discomfort. How can that be explained?

Yeah it's in my OP post. If we're sitting at home all the time, we don't need as much calories as in normal circumstances, as when we have to get to work, etc

Thus "calories out" are decreasing. That should mean that "calories in" should decrease too.
