Just because it is in your contract doesn't make it legal!

Realistically it could be worth checking your local laws regarding it and potentially speaking to a lawyer as some will do a free consult to see if you have a case

Yes, the brand Tupperware is an mlm and sold directly by sales people. Back in the 50s and 60s Tupperware parties were a thing.

The confusion is likely the whole q-tip/Kleenex thing. We call it all Tupperware but really it is not Tupperware brand most of the time

I don't see anything wrong with this list. I've read the majority of works listed here and would say if you read all of these you'll be quite well read, but don't stop once you are done here.

Personally I've never liked classifying things as beginner, intermediate, or advanced and just read what I feel like at the time.

Sometimes it is also easier to read a few works in a row by the same author. For example you have Lenin spread in different levels but it might be easier to read those one after another since these authors do all have a bit of stylistic differences and when they are mentioning other people you won't have to look up the person repeatedly if they are fresh in your mind from their other works

Hope you all have a great day in celebration of workers! I was curious if anyone was doing anything in particular to celebrate.

Personally I reread the Communist Manifesto as that is a tradition I've been doing the last couple years. Otherwise enjoying the day off as it is a holiday here

My suggestions would be:

  • vegetarian chili

Can just use beans and no meat. Intensity of flavor is up to your taste I usually go with rather spicy but it can be mild too. Can take a bit of time but if you make one large pot it can last days and just needs to be reheated

  • shakshuka

Relatively easy to make and is rather flavorful. Again here spice level is up to you

Both of these go well with bread, rice, or potatoes

These are meal replacement shakes, since you are in Germany the brand JimmyJoy would be the local(Dutch) equivalent.

They are quick and nutritious when you need something but a bit pricy per calorieanyd would likely fail your taste and consistency requirements

Well both have free options as well, but they have a bit lower limits in that case and a few less features. So I guess maybe sign up on both for a free account and see which you like more?

For translation I would recommend Pleco as you can have the person you are communicating with draw the characters and then translate that. It isn't perfect but I used it heavily when I lived there

People's Daily is my go to for Chinese news but there are others as well like CGTN and Xinhua

As someone who didnt know you had a library and just checked it out few suggestions if you are open to them:

  • link to the library from the main prolewiki landing page, otherwise it isn't clear that a library exists
  • add an easy way to export the texts as pdf's or ereader compatible formats
  • where possible highlight what was edited in the MIA version of texts that you host

Happy to write out longer use cases/feature requests if you'd like

A couple ideas for you:

Work on easier people, tons of people are only a couple good conversations away and are a better use of your time. I know it is tough cause it is your mom but definitely something to consider.

Get away from the two party discussion. Focus on concrete issues she faces and ask a lot of questions on how she thinks it should be handled. If she is a hard work and no handouts sort who has had factory experience maybe unions could be an in. Or ask about what she considers the minimum acceptable lifestyle and dig in to how to get society there for all, even the hardworking and down on their luck. Like what hoops is she willing to jump through if she got hurt or sick.

This list is quite disingenuous and requires a whole lot of caveats to be even technically true.

Let's take Liberia for example. European powers had trading posts established and the country was later colonized by the US. So only in the strictest reading of definitions of being colonized by a European power would it be on this list.
