Using this thread just to request for anyone who wants to collaborate with me in the specific offsite kind of way that I'll get to in a second, to PM me.
---------
First, I'm getting involved in the this on the jury track and I'm going to win the $5000s with my big brains from all the adoring Stalin the whole time. I'm looking especially for anyone with a "relevant skillset" in this case any kind of design / urban planning / TRAINS background, or even a firm hand on the Photoshop would be 'stremely helpful.
If you're interested, PM me about that interest and I'll share my solid ideas with you that will blow the socks of your mind. I have vetted these ideas against real people who don't post here or on any internet forum. Collaborators can decide with me whether to keep the prize money, or to use it for the good of, etc
----
Does anyone have the link to Losurdo's biography of Stalin in the Italian? Anyone interested in getting it translated to English? We can coordinate with the publisher, fundraise for translators, find some Italian communists(HOW???), etc. Post in this thread please
-------
International Library-Museum-Shrine of Stalin. Bad idea... yet good
-----
This is a catchall thread for making connections with the others, if it seems to be much loved by the populace, then we can use it, if nobody wants to use the thread I can trash my silent shame... any kind of response critical of me or otherwise disdainful will be met with immediate IP banning, thank you as always for posting carefully and with great care
Kind regards,
A realaly nice guy, quite a catch actually

That urban planning project looks cool and I'd love to contribute but knowing myself there's a good chance I would do northing.
Would you use some project management application for it?
Slack + trello taskboard might work.
Suggestions for other distributed collaborative project work space would be great
I was hoping to get access to a building and run it as an art/culture space earlier in the year but unfortunately fell thru.
We might make a push again for this and if so could try a Stalin exhibition

It's the nutshack.
It's the nutshack. It's the nutshack. It's the nutshack. It's the nutshack. It's the nutshack. It's the nutshack. Hey i just realized something. I realized that, the only online, inside joke around here, that is, someone who is a complete joke who spends all their time inside and online, due to having no social life and basically being a complete gaywad, is me.
It's the nutshack.

It's the nutshack. It's the nutshack. Swanpman i have the utmost respect for you as a strange but secretly kind mouse man online. But i have no skills to bring to the table for you even though id live to help you. Advanced engineering? Buddy i am not so good at basic engineering and i once failed to make a styrofoam plane. I really support this project though. I absolutely love trains and i adore stalin. What i can help you with is if not, (it's the nut shack. it's the nut shack) if not direct intervention, then prayer. I will pray with all my heart for your capability mingled with your passion to result in, eheh, "Great Success!" Good luck with it, do the thing, keep the dream.
