  • POV: People looking through the comments on my code:

        // This fucking piece of shit right here, I tried like 8 versions of the Library and only this one works which was incompatible with some other shit that's not here anymore
    
        // and I have no fucking clue why it needs to be divided by 3 but it does even though its supposed to be a memory stream, I have a flag set here if it crashes because I'm just about certain there will eventually be some undefined behavior
    
       //EDIT 07-15 :  I have commented it out because I noticed everything actually runs fine without it, for now.
    
        // EDIT 07-18 : Oh actually it appears that the other solution which didn't use to work is now working which is why everything appears to work as long as both solutions to this problem don't simultaneously fail.
    
        //  EDIT 09-02 : I need to start making comments like "this variable comes from" or "I named it this because" so I know what the fuck I'm looking at.
    









  • Let me put it this way: in many places around the world the people are allowed to challenge the state’s claim to properties in courts with varying success. Your step one would take that away, so it is leaning in the direction of authoritarian.

    But I’m pretty sure Marx was more interested in Option B, I don’t think he was interested in using politics to build a strong democracy but rather wanted to topple any current system and hope a firect democracy pops up over night.

    “It would perhaps be as well if things were to remain quiet for a few years yet, so that all this 1848 democracy has time to rot away.”

    “…it happens that society is saved as often as the circle of its ruling class is narrowed, as often as a more exclusive interest asserts itself over the general. Every demand for the most simple bourgeois financial reform, for the most ordinary liberalism, for the most commonplace republicanism, for the flattest democracy is forthwith punished as an assault upon society and is branded as Socialism.”

    “…the first step in the revolution by the working class, is to raise the proletariat to the position of ruling class, to win the battle for democracy.”

    These are three separate Karl Marx quotes and they’re extremely vague, but he has been somewhat consistent that any form of government that is not direct democracy must be “overthrown” or “fought” or “toppled”.
