Our freedom fighters vs their terrorists

Most countries do not require you to serve a month every year like the IOF does.

They're still reservists in those others countries though, right? Fundamentally it seems like the same thing to me. And your quote says "at most"; I doubt every military aged person is serving a month every year

Reservist is the status you get when you go to your annual (or whatever) checkups and are listed as can be called for active duty. You're basically active duty but you're not needed at the moment.

Isn't this what happens when you complete your compulsory military training? You can then be called for service at any time. I still don't see the difference

It's fair to consider reservists as civilians imo. There's plenty of countries with mandatory conscription and it would be absurd to consider anyone that has completed it as military instead of civilian

The guy that sold out libre software (FOSS) to the corporations is a racist ghoul? Color me shocked

Because some of it is funny, to be honest. CIA officers glowing, or your PC starting to glow when exposed to their propaganda is a funny meme. And besides that, there's a lot of memes used here that either originated or proliferated in 4chan, like wojaks and the guy from the "chad" photoshoot

Streamers are 2010s, not 90s

Why not, if we're using the clean version?

Do you play any games on your smartphone? I'm looking for single player ones to kill some time when waiting for the bus. Ideally they should work without an internet connection, so I can disable network access for that app and play without ads.

I'm currently playing Words of Wonder, but it gets repetitive after a while.

 

In The State and Revolution, Lenin (and Engels, whom he is quoting) disagrees with communists using "People's State" or "Free People's State" as a programme goal.

If I understand correctly, this is because a) it creates a misunderstanding on the final phase of communism, which is stateless and b) it goes against the Marxist understanding of states as forces of oppression. On the other hand, it seems logical to me that a state following the dictatorship of the proletariat principle would call itself "People's", since the proletariat is the majority.

So, I've been wondering if the existing socialist states have an official line about this, or if there's a consensus amongst M-Ls.
