Portage Prefix is a thing too

Did first 8 plans fail?

Very interesting thing. Linux Namespaces were inspired by it.

You use SteamOS btw?

I don’t write in rust

Religion of Holy Linux

boeing

No-no-no. They have worse quality control than even roscosmos, which is huge anti-achivement. I’d rather trust Rogozin personally, than boeing managers. At least we know on which dacha he stores stolen money.

Right, America. They even make people pay to become productive members of society.

Reeeeeeee! Fucking badges and metal detectors.

If you dont check out in the app you are written up.

And what’s next?

In contrast to earlier democratic models à la John Locke and Montesquieu, no separation of powers exists in soviet democracy.

And I’m didn’t say parlament should be strictly legislative body.

yeah, it is, and it’s not what the soviets were doing.

Even article you linked says it was parlament with delegates.

And where did Putin come from?

Some from behind desk near him in KGB, some are his neighbours.

First can be solved with lustrations. KGB, FSB, NSA, FBI - they greatly harm society.

Both can be reduced by destruction of iron throne. “All power power to soviets” v2. Most of Europe already into parlamentarism, so nothing unusual.

socialism is social safety nets managed by the government like free Healthcare

That’s social, not socialist. Yes, entire Europe is social(maybe except UK), even dictatorships(Russia, Belarus) in Europe have social element. And Europe is not socialist for over 30 years.

Canada

Ok, how did Canada managed to get on this list? And Switszerland?

They literally called it ‘soviet democracy’

Parlamentary democracy is real thing. Usually it is called parlamentary republic. Nothing special, most of Europe works this way.

True democratic socialism is impossible as long as the United States exists as an imperialist force.

Not sure how to explain, but I don’t think so.

See: Russia, etc.,

Last time I checked sheikh-esque palaces and yachts are something that is not communism. Same goes for Putin’s oligarchs.

I think it’s telling that so many wish for a return to communism but still defend Putin’s atrocities. :|

For some reason I see them less than few years ago. I wonder why…

Communism doesn’t work on a large-scale, and it’s not sustainable.

Have you ever heard of little thing called “economy of scale”? The bigger scale is - the more sustainable it is.

By it’s very nature it’s extremely prone to abuse, and fundamentally impossible to install any sort of checks and balances on a single party-system.

“checks and balances” do not prevent abuse. They are not designed to.

Look how bad it is with a two-party system in the US.

In my opinion two-party system is worse than single-party system and full pluralism. In single-party system there is only one party to blame, while in many-parties system no party can control discourse. While in two-party system both parties can agree to screw over people and finger-point at each-other, only creating illusion of pluralism.

And that besides societal issues two-party system creates like strong polarization.

it’s always a bit uncomfortable seeing folks extolling science as the exclusive solution to everything.

Indeed. “We will do stupid shit because science will figure out how to clean mess after”.

The role of science in society is deeply tied up with values, norms, and policy.

Especially policy. You can tell science to make as much money as possible or you can tell science to make lives as good as possible.

And not in any way implemented by the government.

Have you ever heard of GPL?

To be fair publisherploitation(AKA copyright) in general is enforced by goverment.

It’s when the government starts doing it that it bothers me.

What is difference between paying membership fee in non-profit and paying taxes? What if difference between voting on members meeting and on referendum? What is difference between board elections and goverment elections? What is difference between paying members to not starve to death while achieving goal of non-profit and funding healthcare for citizens to not die while living?

Insane.

Achievement unlocked: Worse than Putinism

Have more ura-patriotism than country ruled by Old Rat
