I have downloaded a 2016 'dump' of the marxists.org website. I was just wondering if anyone wants to help me download all the pdf/epubs that are missing and getting all the pdf/epubs out of the dump (as it is not well organized) and put it all in neatly organized folders and into a .torrent for anyone to download. If anyone wants to help me with this endavour or any tips on ways to do it i will greatly apreciate it. i am broke asf i cant pay for wage slaves sorry

The reason why i want to do this is to make it easy and accesible for anyone to download any marxist works, as even though i do like the website i think there should be a way for anyone to just download everything.

please dont take this too harshly if i missed something or said something wrong, it is my first post.

Look up the Firefox plugin "down them all". Then load this page: https://www.marxists.org/ebooks/index.htm#ebooksinenglish

You can use down them all to mass download all files linked in a page and use the meta data of the site to build a output path that should organize them all.

Discussion Community for fellow Marxist-Leninists and other Marxists.

Rules for /c/communism

Rules that visitors must follow to participate. May be used as reasons to report or ban.

  1. No non-marxists

This subreddit is here to facilitate discussion between marxists.

There are other communities aimed at helping along new communists. This community isn't here to convert naysayers to marxism.

If you are a member of the police, armed forces, or any other part of the repressive state apparatus of capitalist nations, you will be banned.

  1. No oppressive language

Do not attempt to justify your use of oppressive language.

Doing this will almost assuredly result in a ban. Accept the criticism in a principled manner, edit your post or comment accordingly, and move on, learning from your mistake.

We believe that speech, like everything else, has a class character, and that some speech can be oppressive. This is why speech that is patriarchal, white supremacist, cissupremacist, homophobic, ableist, or otherwise oppressive is banned.

TERF is not a slur.

  1. No low quality or off-topic posts

Posts that are low-effort or otherwise irrelevant will be removed.

This is not a place to engage in meta-drama or discuss random reactionaries on lemmy or anywhere else.

This includes memes and circlejerking.

This includes most images, such as random books or memorabilia you found.

We ask that amerikan posters refrain from posting about US bourgeois politics. The rest of the world really doesn’t care that much.

  1. No basic questions about marxism

Posts asking entry-level questions will be removed.

Questions like “What is Maoism?” or “Why do Stalinists believe what they do?” will be removed, as they are not the focus on this forum.

  1. No sectarianism

Marxists of all tendencies are welcome here.

Refrain from sectarianism, defined here as unprincipled criticism. Posts trash-talking a certain tendency or marxist figure will be removed. Circlejerking, throwing insults around, and other pettiness is unacceptable.

If criticisms must be made, make them in a principled manner, applying Marxist analysis.

The goal of this subreddit is the accretion of theory and knowledge and the promotion of quality discussion and criticism.
