I have no idea where you are getting the intention to bid when the admins have repeatedly stated the opposite.

Wtf are you talking about??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

Thats one user being unhappy with how the system functions

They are clearly blaming the admin going AWOL and not paying, and themselves for not getting the domain transfered.

Despite saying Davel banned you from "everywhere he could", you haven't been permanently banned from .ml, despite the fact that clearly you should have been

If you aren't one of these, then what are you? I guess there still is reactionary, off to the right of the image.

You are already living in a class war. You are below the poverty line because of it.

So I checked it out... never directly states where the data is from ("PRC state media and data", "party documents and data reportedly obtained from local public security bureaus in Xinjiang", it continues to be this vague never specific throughout), most of the dates end in 2021/2022 (for the latter e.g. "the last date for which authorities have issued such reports", so that doesn't show it hasn't ended in 2021)

The closest thing you have in there is

the continued elevated number of indictments in 2022 suggests that the campaign continues

Are there other, better, sources?

I think Lumelore is starting of at anti-communism, and working her way from there. It leads to some weird stuff like this.

[–] Edie@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

It says that anyone could propose a candidate, and that the person elected in that specific election wasn't part of the [Communist] Party, making it somewhat likely they weren't a communist.

But a better question, is why is it important that they can vote for non-communists? What else should they vote for? Fascists? Liberals that wish to destroy the Soviet system and institute capitalism, thereby making the lives of the vast majority of people worse? Chapter XVII goes over this to some extent, but I of course do recommend reading the entire book.

No mention of being able to vote for non-communists

?????

Anybody present had the right to propose a candidate, the one who was elected was not personally a member of the Party

The people of the soviet union, at least as far as Pat Sloan experienced in ~1937, had the most limited choice: any person

  I have, while working in the Soviet Union, participated in an election. I, too, had a right to vote, as I was a working member of the community, and nationality and citizenship is no bar to electoral rights. The procedure was extremely simple. A general meeting of all the workers in our organization was called by the trade union committee, candidates were discussed, and a vote was taken by show of hands. Anybody present had the right to propose a candidate, and the one who was elected was not personally a member of the Party. In considering the claims of the candidates their past activities were discussed, they themselves had to answer questions as to their qualifications, anybody could express an opinion, for or against them, and the basis of all the discussion was: What justification had the candidates to represent their comrades on the local Soviet?
  As far as the elections in the villages were concerned, these took place at open village meetings, all peasants of voting age, other than those who employed labour, having the right to vote and to stand for election. As in the towns, any organization or individual could put forward candidates, anyone could ask the candidate questions, and anybody could support or oppose the candidature. It is usual for the Communist Party to put forward a candidate, trade unions and other organizations can also do so, and there is nothing to prevent the Party’s candidate from not being elected, if he has not sufficient prestige among the voters.
