• Could [[DisCOs]] and/or [[Worker self-directed nonprofit]]s be good models for maintaining free software projects?

  • I guess it kind of assumes you have some money to sustain them in the first place.
  • The pro-bono part of coops could be directed in to FLOSS.

• Revolution is downstream of economics. Capitalism had established itself by the time of the revolutions in Europe, the revolutions were just a means of catching up
• Drawing divisions between what marxism is and isn’t is a result of the systemization of marxism in the Stalin period, and doesn’t do justice to either marxism or things that are outside marxism
• Good art is art that speaks to the universal
• The fall of c the soviet union marked a back sliding of global feminism
• Can alienation be abolished? Derrick says capitalist alienation is only negative
• Positivism in its objectivity and rationality leaves no space for subjectivity or teleology
• Marx criticized the German idealists for being anti-semetic, but felt that their antisemitism spoke to a real criticism of the world
• The German idealists claimed that the state was producing civil society in a dialectic
• People make the distinction between good national capitalism and bad international capitalism, but they are two sides of the same whole
• Anti-imperialism is not inherently anti-capitalist
• Capitalism imposes a set of constrains on all behavior in society, and even society in general. It’s better to be a capitalist but they are still constrained

this is the day i started my agora :) but besides that:

• made plans to return my pair of HyperX Cloud Alpha headphones.

  • sound-wise, it was fine. however, they clamp on your head, and that just doesn’t work for me.
  • was a exchange from my local GameStop (that was not my decision)
    • the old pair was the Razer Kraken X’s, which suffered the same problem
      • part of [[christmas-2020]]

• made plans to buy a mechanical keyboard finally

  • the mechanical keyboard i am planning to buy: an Epomaker SK87.
    • white color because it’s more aesthetically pleasing for me
    • Gateron Optical Browns as the switch
      • the keyboard is hotswappable, so if i don’t like it i’ll just buy some different switches probably
    • this will be bought using the money from the return of the Cloud Alphas.
