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.

Serious posts can be posted here and/or in /c/GenZhou.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information.

Stalin works need to be turned into epub and uploaded to Annas archive. Can only find them on pdf or marxist.org, and my e-reader struggles with pdfs.

any of anarchism or socialism, historical and dialectical materialism, the national question, the foundations of leninism.

I turn anything i found into an epub and use Calibre. I usually first grab the text and put it into Markdown, then use Calibre to convert it to .epub.

Do you convert PDFs that do not have embedded text (i.e. scanned images of pages only) into epub format?

Damn. Does Calibre do OCR these days or do you do it manually?

[–] ComradeEd@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Manually. I use ocrmypdf, and then read through the result to fix anything that went wrong.

Dialectical and Historical Materialism and Foundations of Leninism is available at marxists.org as epubs. FoL doesn't seem to be any different from the one on prolewiki.
