  • Here is a reference to what that looks like.

    I’m not sure how much I like the presentation here. Another option would be to have tabs between the sorting options and the comments.

    If you want to combat people only contributing to the most active thread, maybe sort each instance’s comments by total comments ascending?

    If you wanted to leave a top-level comment in the other thread from the view you were in, you could do like a Window Shade type UI where each comment section is contained in a box with a clickable header. Clicking the header collapses the shade, leaving only the header. Kind of like collapsing a comment. The other thread comments could be under the primary thread comments and collapsed (or auto-expanded; maybe that’s a UI setting). Like this:

    Comment Thread 1 (12 Comments) (community-a)
    Comment 1
    Comment 2
    Comment 3
    Comment Thread 2 (12 Comments) (community-c)
    Comment Thread 3 (12 Comments) (community-d)
    Comment Thread 4 (12 Comments) (community-e)



  • FREE EBOOK: The Worldview and Philosophical Methodology of Marxism-Leninism

    “In order to build socialism, first and foremost, we need to have socialist people who understand socialist ideology and have socialist values.”

    These are the immortal words of Ho Chi Minh, who helped guide Vietnam through decades of revolution against French colonialism, Japanese fascism, and American imperialism. These words reverberate today in the classrooms of Vietnamese high schools and colleges, where students are required to study a full curriculum of socialist theory rooted in the foundational works of Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, and Vladimir Ilyich Lenin.

    Now, for the first time, the materials used to train Vietnamese students in the core ideological system of dialectical materialism and materialist dialectics is available to the English speaking world through Luna Nguyen’s groundbreaking translation of Curriculum of the Basic Principles of Marxism-Leninism, Part 1: The Worldview and Philosophical Methodology of Marxism-Leninism for University and College Students Not Specializing in Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh Thought. This text, originally produced by Vietnam’s Ministry of Education and Training for use in universities, provides a brief history of Marxism-Leninism as well as thorough explanations of the principles and laws of dialectical materialism, materialist dialectics, and the cognitive theory of dialectical materialism.

    The first English edition is brought to you by Banyan House Publishing in collaboration with Iskra Books and The International Magazine. We have done our best to deliver a textbook which is highly optimized for collective training as well as self-study and for use as a companion piece for further reading. The book includes an original glossary, appendices, and illustrations and annotations by Emerican Johnson as well as a foreword by Dr. Vijay Prashad and introduction by Dr. Taimur Rahman.

    This book is so foundational, I think it really should be required reading for any budding comrade. I’ve read this book once before, and would totally read it again. It does such an excellent job laying out the bedrock that is Dialectical Materialism and the Dialectic Materialist World View. This book synthesizes the philosophical concepts laid out across multiple texts by Lenin, Marx, and Engels into one body of work. Best of all, the PDF is free. This year Luna and her team should be releasing Part 2: Historical Dialectical Materialism, which I’m very excited for.

    The only critique I have of this book is the incredibly long and cumbersome title, ha!

    "Curriculum of the Basic Principles of Marxism-Leninism, Part 1: The Worldview and Philosophical Methodology of Marxism-Leninism "

    What a mouthful.
