This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.
Rules:
- No bigotry, anti-communism, pro-imperialism or ultra-leftism (anti-AES)
- We support indigenous liberation as the primary contradiction in settler colonies like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel
- If you post an archived link (excluding archive.org), include the URL of the original article as well
- Unless it's an obvious shitpost, include relevant sources
- For articles behind paywalls, try to include the text in the post
- Mark all posts containing NSFW images as NSFW (including things like Nazi imagery)

Already working on my next epub (could be a few months before I'm done): This Soviet World by Anna Louise Strong.
How do you go about doing these? Do you convert the PDF with something like Calibre then read it through to fix the typos, etc, and add tags (html tags)?
In this case I used OCRMyPDF to get text out of the PDF (Calibre doesn't do that), and then I'll create an empty EPUB in Calibre and import the text slowly, going through it with the PDF open to ensure it is correct, then finally add tags.

I can't decide so I'm gonna ask you: External link (to marxists.org) inside the EPUB?
Hmm... I'd maybe include the URL but not make it a hyperlink? I'd be worried about the security if there were links in the text. I don't know whether there is a security risk, but I'd want to play it safe.
That's awesome. I enjoy doing this kind of stuff if you have a backlog and want someone to convert a few books I'm happy to help.
If you want to, do help, it's a tiny project of mine, very... creatively... called "Comrades Library" and I'm just trying to create EPUBs of stuff, so there will always be something on the backlog. Maos Five Essays is currently the only one my list.
