  • I’ve asked a couple of history nerds, and I stand corrected: my impression that totalitarianism was a form of autocracy was wrong (rather both are a form of dictatorship). They’ve mentioned that under Stalin it could’ve been considered one, tho, but given he was the 2nd gensec, it’s not exactly relevant to undissolving.

    Sure it wasn’t. And, say, attempts to limit citizens’ freedoms of [speeh, movement, religion (although I personally think it’s cancer)] or even music they listen to are just a coincidence. Look, I’m not saying USSR was all bad, but, frankly speaking, trying to depict it as some kind of heaven on earth is just as flawed as the red scare you’ve mentioned.


  • Fair enough; although, I meant more of a communism on a world scale, with rewiring the brains of those selfish bastards that actively oppose it for their benefit, and all that jazz. So, pretty much the thing a genie’s help (or something equally unbelievable) is necessary atm.

    You can still f it up, mostly by messing with the bootloader (at least in my experience). Also the same can be achieved with stuff like zfs/bttrfs snapshots 🤷 But yeah, nixos rocks.
