Yeah, If you try to search for any book on libgen or zlibrary that is not in english, and for example in polish, then good fucking luck! It basically can be considered non existent! I hope that one day I can afford a CZUR book scanner to make this somewhat different as I do have a small collection of Marxist books that were published back in PRL and having scans available would be nice for a lot of people. Because that is the main problem Polish marxists have, lack of availability of materials as no new prints are being made, nothing has been scanned and many books were lost to burnings after 1989...
Prolewiki has some guides to scanning books without those machines if you want to look at them. If you scan them, it would be very intresting to look at as I could translate it into English to read since I’m sure many of those texts are only available in Polish I would think
As well as the fact there are so many books that are unavailable digitally and only available as physical books

First order of business is money. I need to get the scanner somehow.
Ah I see. I don’t know if any cheaper options for that to reccomend
