Arabic only has three vowels (each can be long or short) but the Turkic languages have many more vowels so the Arabic script couldn't represent the vowels properly. The Mongolian script also has issues with silent letters and spells words like how they sounded several centuries ago. The USSR also changed the spelling of Russian words and removed some letters from the Russian alphabet so words would be spelled how they sound.

Soros is a right-wing billionaire who funds color revolutions but since he is Jewish a lot of fascists think he’s actually a leftist who secretly controls the world. He would have been only 14 at the end of World War II so it seems unlikely that he could have helped the Nazis.

Patsocs call themselves gorillas for some reason.
Can you add this one: "This does not mean, of course, that the proletariat must support every national movement, everywhere and always, in every individual concrete case. It means that support must be given to such national movements as tend to weaken, to overthrow imperialism, and not to strengthen and preserve it. Cases occur when the national movements in certain oppressed countries came into conflict with the interests of the development of the proletarian movement. In such cases support is, of course, entirely out of the question. The question of the rights of nations is not an isolated, self-sufficient question; it is a part of the general problem of the proletarian revolution, subordinate to the whole, and must be considered from the point of view of the whole. In the forties of the last century Marx supported the national movement of the Poles and Hungarians and was opposed to the national movement of the Czechs and the South Slavs. Why? Because the Czechs and the South Slavs were then 'reactionary peoples,' 'Russian outposts' in Europe, outposts of absolutism; whereas the Poles and the Hungarians were 'revolutionary peoples,' fighting against absolutism." – Joseph Stalin, Foundations of Leninism
Just a minor suggestion but could you have the quotes link to the ProleWiki library versions instead of MIA for those that are in the ProleWiki library?
We should add this: "'You are dictatorial.' My dear sirs, you are right, that is just what we are. All the experience the Chinese people have accumulated through several decades teaches us to enforce the people's democratic dictatorship, that is, to deprive the reactionaries of the right to speak and let the people alone have that right." – Mao Zedong, On the People's Democratic Dictatorship
Catalan is already an official language in those islands and most of the residents speak it fluently.

After the revolution (or even before if possible), we should immediately create autonomous regions (ARs) based on the traditional territory of all native groups. This will include but not be limited to current reservations, even if those reservations are located outside of their traditional homeland (such as those in Oklahoma).
These ARs will be able to make their own laws that apply to everyone in their territory, including non-natives. They will have their own elected governments, control of their natural resources, and have their own official languages. The current US Congress will be abolished and replaced by a Council of the Union (elected based on population) and a Council of Nationalities. Both will have to approve all national laws by a majority vote. Large native nations will have 8 representatives, medium-sized ones will have 3, and small ones will have one. There will also be a large number of representatives for the New Afrikan and Chicano nations and a smaller number for other oppressed nationalities within the former USA such as Arabs and Asians.
All ARs will be able to declare independence by a majority vote from all adults of their native nation, including members living outside the AR or abroad. They will also be able to merge with other ARs if they choose to do so. Overseas colonies such as Guam, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and others will immediately become independent after the revolution (besides "American" Samoa which will go straight back to Samoa) and may choose to stay independent or join with each other or other countries.
