  • that is not even the case. in most marxist leninist states former imperial/royalist army officials were either kept because of greater forces, purged, or entirely dismantled through the ongoing period of revolution/guerrilla warfare. im not going to say it never happened but it’s not like you shouldn’t treat former (to say the least) participants in war crimes against the proletariat with nothing but the ultimate suspicion.




  • the same happens in development with minimalism. for some reason it’s the standard even among gnuhards, literally everything is black and as little expression as possible. there’s these android drawers which literally show apps as a list of text with no icon. yeah, that’s exactly what i want to see, so beautiful… or if you browse unixporn, you’ll see most hyprland/niri whatever rices are gnome… i think we should definitely start to take a few lessons from the 2000’s school of design. most defintely there were shitty thing, and code minimalism is good. but the user has so very little agency in the expression of how their software looks nowadays that’s sad.
