China's take on the Japanese government's handling of the situation, largely due to some of the isotopes they haven't filtered out. Particularly the strontium, iodine, and carbon variants. These have leaked into said wastewater due to the meltdown in several of Fukushima's reactors.

Thank you for your response! Yes, it is true that the States were limited to the east coast initially, though it took so little time to expand westward that I opted to omit it for conciseness of the text. However, as this did play a vital role in their expansionary mentality, and the brutality that the states would show to their fellow human beings, I realize now I should not have excluded it. Especially given how they were constantly rewarded for their effort to eradicate the natives with land, slaves, and resources.

Didn't capitalism start 300-400 years ago? If I remember correctly, capitalism was born of the imperial nations of Europe (primarily Great Britain, France, and Spain), as private capital, now unrestricted from the guilds as under feudalism, expanded for increased control of their respective markets.

The United States, started only slightly after the major imperial powers of its day. In addition, it's geography blessed it with weak neighbors to the north and south, and fish to the east and west, allowing it to develop almost entirely unhindered from the risk of war destroying it's means of production. Furthermore, property rights were enshrined in its very constitution from start due to its status as one of the world's first a bourgeois democracies (widely believed to be the ideal circumstances for the development of capitalism). As such, the United States had one of the most mature capitalist economies in the world by this point. Even at this point it's form of capitalism is probably more mature than many capitalist nations in the third world are currently.

In all likelihood, the course of capitalism in the United States was reversed somewhat by a combination of anti-monopolistic legislation, an end to its pre-worldwar isolationist policies, and the introduction of new markets in the world economy due to need for many nations to rebuild after World War Two. As such, I think it reasonable to call this a consequence of a 1940s late stage capitalist economy.

Please note: The United States did not start out spanning the entire continent, but rather got their though roughly a century of brutal westward expansion and genocide. I apologize for my omission of this information.

Strange... I've never had a problem with it. I use the extended support release of Firefox, maybe it works better on some versions of the supported browsers than others?

To get around the paywall, the Bypass Paywall extension (Firefox and Chrome) works great!

For those without subscriptions to any of these news sites, I recommend the Bypass Paywalls extension. Works on Chromium and Firefox.

 

I've been working on re-implementing a board game in C. However, when running the players positions don't increment.
Current output:

 6,  9,  7,  6,  5,  5,  8,  7
 6,  9,  7,  6,  5,  5,  8,  7

Expected output:

 6,  9,  7,  6,  5,  5,  8,  7
14, 15, 19, 16, 13, 13, 14, 17

Code:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

// Define types here:
typedef enum {false, true} bool;

// Define constants here:
const unsigned char MAXPLAYERS = 7;	//Game has max of 8 players
const unsigned char SPACES = 40;	//Board has 40 spaces
const unsigned int SEED = 51732;	//Seed for random numbers
const unsigned int DIE = 6;		//Number of sides of die

// Define variables here:
unsigned char player = 0;
unsigned char player_position [] = {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0};
unsigned char die = 0;

// Define functions here:
// Moves player Input spaces.
void move_player (char moves) {

player_position [player] += moves;
if (player_position [player] > SPACES) {

	player_position [player] -= SPACES;

}

}

// Switches active player in order.
void increment_player () {

player ++;

if (player > MAXPLAYERS) {

player = 0;

}

}

// Returns random number between 1 - Input.
unsigned char rand_num (unsigned char max) {

unsigned char i;

i = rand () % max + 1;

return (i);

}

// Sets dice variable && returns 1 if double.
bool roll_dice () {

unsigned char a = rand_num (DIE);
unsigned char b = rand_num (DIE);

die = a + b;

return (0);

}

// Main logic
int main () {

char input = 0;

srand (SEED);
printf ("Game client started.\n",
	"Press enter to iterate turns.\n");

while (1) {

scanf ("%c", &input);

for (unsigned char i; i <= MAXPLAYERS; i++) {

	roll_dice ();
	move_player (die);

	increment_player ();

}

printf ("%2i, %2i, %2i, %2i, %2i, %2i, %2i, %2i\n",
	player_position [0], player_position [1], player_position [2],
	player_position [3], player_position [4], player_position [5],
	player_position [6], player_position [7]);

}

return (0);

}

Under the name @Academicproletarian he sent me this message:

Hey, comrade! I see you are an editor on ProleWiki, that's super great!

Let's get down to brass-tacks. I'm the Chief Commissar of the Internal Security Group of ProleWiki. I myself have banned millions of people from our great echo-chamber.

I've just been ordered personally by our great founder Forte to improve our page on Stalinism. It turns out that Stalinism, or more fully, Marxism—Leninism—Stalinism (MLS) really does exist as an ideology.

As such, he wants us to rewrite our incorrect page on Stalinism to indicate that it really does exist. He also told me to use this excellently-written writing on MLS as a reference. This writing was made by a genius pioneer of Wisconsinite Marxist-Leninist-Stalinist theory. Thus it is a VERY good source.

Thank you!

It seems that they're going after ProleWiki again, (in this case attempting to have the "Stalinism" page "corrected."

 

Just showing off my desktop. For those curious, I use the XFCE desktop, and ULauncher tied to the windows key. I'm also experimenting with animated wallpapers using hidimari.

 

As it turns out, the other day I was looking through recent edits on ProleWiki, and I found, under the social-media section of the ProleWiki page, I found a Youtube link.

User messaged me with a link to Wisconsom's website with some sort of plan regarding some sort of plan to overthrow ProleWiki.
The exact text is as such:

From ComradeW

Greetings, comrade.

I see you’re an editor on ProleWiki, that is great! I am interested in ProleWiki myself.

I found this interesting source of history for ProleWiki, and I also heard of this newly-formed group of ProleWiki editors looking to improve the project. Maybe this could help you become a better editor. Do you think it is accurate?

Thanks you.

I remember watching a video from The Young Hegelian Youtube channel some time back regarding how the United States inspired Nazi Germany, but it seems to have been removed or privated sense then.

As such, I'm wondering if anyone kept a backup of the video, or knows of a mirror I can find it on?

Earlier today a comrade got a pretty good tankie instance for Mastodon on this post of theirs. So I was thinking, due such things exist for other federated platforms such as Pixelfed and Peertube? And if so, which are the best for our purposes?

This is a video talking about Deepin OS, a Chinese made Linux distro based on Debian. Plus it isn't full of cringe like videos about anything related to China tend to be.

 

It was linked to be by a @Sickomus as a source of history regarding ProleWiki. As you might expect it is is full of his normal social imperialist talking points and such. Also he calls himself a "Marxist Leninist Stalinist" now instead of his previous Hoxhaist beliefs for some reason.

 

I, finally, after all this time built up the courage to join ProleWiki! I'm not sure how much of a help I'll be, but I'm sure I'll at least be able to catch some grammar or formatting mistakes every so often. It's nice to join you!
