thoughts on these critiques:
- I mean, I don’t think it’s a camp so much so as it is reality. Dengism has pushed forth a disastrous capitalist restoration that every single CPC government has done ever since, workers have been continually disenfranchised and chinese capitalists pop up everywhere and establish businesses that exploit the proletariat
- how can a country be a dotp without its basis of government being soviets they give bourgeois the right to vote and participate in government.
- Beijing has legally and specifically preserved capitalist governance where it can during dengism (Basic Laws in Macau, Hong Kong), but even Hong Kong is being outcapitalisted by the mainland, with Shanghai and even Shenzhen surpassing Hong Kong in terms of commerce and trade, points of great pride for Beijing despite this very clearly not being socialist
- the 1918 russian constitution officially denied political power to the nobility and bourgeoisie anyway, universal right to vote is inherently bourgeois. ALL POWER TO THE SOVIETS this is very basic stuff
I’m interested in reuploading to prolewiki, you can import the PDF copy to a google doc or etherpad or similar and I can simply copy-paste afterwards onto prolewiki and preserve headings and formatting. If you want.
For ease of importing my workflow is typically pass it through OCR software (such as abbyy), export as formatted html, and then start copying and pasting to prolewiki. then we have to add the infobox and the categories and that’s it. I use OCR even for text-layer PDFs because the text layer sucks to copy, OCR makes a readily copiable document.
I just threw the epub version into an html converter real quick, does this work? That way the hyperlinks are preserved.
If not I can try the OCR method or something else
Unfortunately it wants to preserve line breaks and doesn’t understand headings correctly :(
Ah okay my bad, I’ll try again later today when I get a chance. It’d def be great to have it on the wiki so it’s fully readable online
Depending on how the ocr handles it we also need to manually go through the headings to give them the proper tag (level 1 2 3 etc) and if there are in-line references they should ideally be moved to wiki format so they can be clicked but that one is a secondary
Fosho, when I get a minute I’ll read up on mediawiki formatting and try again. It’s been a few years since I edited a wiki.
