Reading about FOSS philosophy, degoogling, becoming against corporations, and now a full-blown woke communist (like Linus Torvalds)

    I’ve been nothing but honest. I think Lenin interpreted Marx’s teachings and works largely correctly and implemented a revolution and sate based on that understanding. I believe Mao interpreted Marx correctly and built a state based on that interpretation.

    I think the critical flaw of Communism is that it lacks the ability to self critique. Instead of something like the “USSR failed to achieve Communism because of X, Y and Z which we can correct by changing…” it says “those weren’t in any fashion even tangentially related to Communis, anyway let’s do exactly what they did again…” Comversley, other forms of governments don’t require such religious undertows and can support significant disagreement and discussion on how to build a society.

      “I’ve been nothing but honest.”

      Oh, see when I saw 80% of your reply explaining why literally being bonobos wouldn’t be helpful I got the wrong impression. Isolated this reply sounds more serious but, addresses assertions I never made.

      We can incorporate self critique more easily than ever with the internet. Blockchain perhaps, since I’m not even sure whether or not I’m arguing with a time wasting ai, lol.

        Bonobos can be so peaceful precisely because there’s so few of them. Advocating for building a society around modeling them requires a drop in population.
