You get overtime in the US for over 40 hours in a week but not necessarily for over 8 hours in a day. You can work over 8 hours in a day without overtime if other days in the week are shorter than 8 hours.

Here’s a Soviet book about the history of the Arab countries from the beginning of Ottoman rule in the 1500s to 1918.

Arabic only has three vowels (each can be long or short) but the Turkic languages have many more vowels so the Arabic script couldn’t represent the vowels properly. The Mongolian script also has issues with silent letters and spells words like how they sounded several centuries ago. The USSR also changed the spelling of Russian words and removed some letters from the Russian alphabet so words would be spelled how they sound.

Patsocs call themselves gorillas for some reason.

Yes, but the Korean script was created in the 1400s and they had no phonetic script before that while Vietnam already has a phonetic script.

Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, and Myanmar all use their own phonetic scripts but the only writing Vietnam had before the French came was a modified form of Chinese characters, and literacy campaigns after the revolution would be more difficult if you had to memorize a character for every word instead of just a letter for each sound. If Vietnam wanted to create its own non-Latin script without using Chinese characters, it would have to adopt another language’s writing system or create a completely new system. The Zhuang language in southern China historically used Chinese characters but it wasn’t a good fit and they’ve been using Latin now since the revolution.

Aren’t EKRE Estonian nationalists? I’m surprised they wouldn’t want to go to war with Russia.

If you have Discord, the ProleWiki and USU servers both have book clubs as well as the decolonial server founded by ProleWiki members. You don’t need a wiki account to participate and you can suggest books to read. Local organizations probably also have in-person book clubs.

I know a couple people in real life, if you don’t you can maybe try to convert people who are “apolitical” or don’t like the status quo but don’t have any solution.

No, Nimeiry was just an anti-imperialist bourgeois nationalist similar to Nasser and he purged the Communist Party after taking power even though they had supported his revolution. You can read more about this in The Darker Nations by Vijay Prashad.

Loyal Citizens of Pyongyang in Seoul and the Thomas Sankara documentary.

ProleWiki has a lot of books in its library. You can check MIA or Marx2Mao for older theory and Iskra Books for more recent ones.

This is more medieval than ancient, the Crusader states in modern-day Palestine and Lebanon might be considered settler states, and Germans settler-colonized East Prussia (modern-day Kaliningrad) and completely wiped out the natives.

For the USA, Canada, and Australia, I think we should create something like the Soviet of Nationalities in the USSR where all nations in the country have a certain number of representatives. In the USSR it was 25 or 32 for a union republic, 11 for an autonomous republic, 5 for an autonomous oblasts, and 1 for autonomous okrugs. The Soviet of Nationalities, along with the Soviet of the Union elected based on population, had to approve all laws by a majority vote and Russia (excluding non-ethnic Russia autonomous regions within Russia) held less than 10% of the seats in the Soviet of Nationalities in order to prevent Russian chauvinism. All of the autonomous regions had to have their leader be from the local nationality even if ethnic Russians or other non-native ethnicities were a majority, and China has the same policy for its autonomous regions. In the USSR, all union republics were allowed to secede if they wanted to but ASSRs and smaller divisions couldn’t because they weren’t considered big enough to support themselves. For decolonized settler-colonies, I think all colonized nations should have full self-determination.

New Zealand would be more simple since they only have one indigenous group but could apply a similar method. For Japan, the Ryukyuan islands could hold a referendum on whether to be independent and become an autonomous region if they decide to stay like how Xinjiang and Tibet are in China. Although the Ainu are a minority in Hokkaido, they should also have an autonomous region in all or part of the island and be guaranteed some representation.

Autonomous regions of China:

USSR regions (blue: non-Russian union republics, green: ASSRs, orange: autonomous oblasts, red: autonomous okrugs)

• Native nations in the USA
• Native nations in Canada
• Native nations in Australia
• Ainu population in Hokkaido
• Maori population in Aotearoa

I think we should vote for communist candidates if possible as a way to raise class consciousness and protest against the establishment but obviously socialism won’t come through the ballot box.

It would be cool to send a remote device (super disinfected of course) to record their language and find out how to communicate with them. We shouldn’t send any people to the island though unless they tell us to.

You should try to change her mind first and show her evidence of how much the CPC has improved the country compared to what they had before 1949 or contemporary countries like India.

Remember that “Israel” occupied all of Palestine, including Gaza and the West Bank, for many years after the 1967 war and it still wasn’t enough to destroy the resistance.

PSL is running Claudia De la Cruz and Karina Garcia. I doubt they’ll win but their campaign might raise class consciousness.
