You're making up a personal definition of communism just like you're accusing the tankies of, which is fine. But neither you or the tankies get to assert what communism is or is not.

And no, I'm not conflating communism with authoritarianism. I'm asserting that communism's centrally managed economy tends to collapse into authoritarianism by being highly susceptible to corruption. Again, I've been very careful in my word choice this entire time.

You disagree all you wish, you're disagreeing with ideas I have not asserted. And I dont particularly have a problem with anything you've said outside of terms and definitions. I've mostly been debunking what you've been thinking I've said.

To recap:

• My only issue this entire time has been with centrally planned/organized systems.
• I'm perfectly fine asserting there are plenty of stable ways to organize left wing governance.
• My main issue with communism is that a defining feature of it is a centrally planned economy and governance.
• I have not asserted communism is inherently authoritarian, only that its defining features tend to be unstable and collapse into authoritarian power structures.

oi, hitting the critical mass of enough users to be interesting, but thankfully not at enough users where it is profitable for them yet. sigh

in no way am i selling a vps (hell I'd love for them to sell systems w/ the software Im building preconfigured), and no there won't be a markup beyond the processing fees (long term). The subscription is opt in and goes to creators (again less the processing fee and like $1 to cover the base hosting costs until economics kick in). and its 100% self contained application. And no i'm not just wiring software that already exists together, because if i did it wouldn't work the way i want it to work or be as slick/user friendly. And literally as I explained elsewhere it has saved me money on seedboxes.

As I said elsewhere, you'll all be delighted when its ready. But im not willing to say more until I have it built. Anyways did i miss any of your erroneous claims that you'd like me to address?

edit: Hell go check out egdaemon.com. that's also my work, and another system I'm basically offering at cost to developers. did it last Q4 last year. just go through the setup guide in a linux container. I spend a ton of effort figuring out how to make systems work painlessly and cost effectively. note: egdaemon still have some issues upstream I havent been able to address due to time/ecosystem dynamics.

nope, 100% incorrect on all counts.

Awesome! I'll ping you shortly, probably over the weekend, Im packed rest of the week. I havent seen veilid! But I've built similar things in the past, mostly to learn as i was cutting my teeth learning many years ago.

Looks like a straight up kademlia (from the 160bit keys at least) implementation with some modern RPC on top? would definitely consider looking closer at it. ATM I have that bit squared away enough for the initial program (though I've been gutting the library a bit for it to be functional for the use cases I have planned). but it'll definitely need some love at some point. just have a million other parts to build first before the optimization bits occur.

I was careful with my word choices. I said communism not leftists theories generally. Communism is by definition a state managed/centrally planned economy.

I have no issue with left wing movements in general. My criticism is of centrally managed governments regardless of their origin.

And I do believe its possible to structure a society align left wing values. just not through communism, at least not in a way that is stable.

we're probably talking about different things. virtually no distribution comes with root access with a password. you have to explicitly give the root user a password. without a password no amount of brute force sshing root will work. I'm not saying the root user is entirely disabled. so either the service OP is building on is basically a goldmine for compromised machines or OP literally shot themselves in the root by giving root a password manually. something you should never do.

Most distributions disable root by default

this is the way. clearly this is capital non sense.

Dont think we need to make that distinction here. :) correct of course but ip vs i2p, tcp vs udp vs utp, etc are all different layers of the same domain.

Lol. Dont waste peoples time in the future thanks!

TCP/IP isnt the only standard in use even today. UDP/IP is the other big one and there's a few smaller protocols hanging around like utp.
