  • united, indivisible republic

    So no federalism anymore, just one centralized state power.

    All baronial and other feudal estates, all mines, pits etc. shall be converted into state property

    The mortgages on peasant farms shall be declared state property

    All private banks will be replaced by a state bank

    All means of transport: railways, canals, steamships, roads, posts etc. shall be taken in hand by the state

    So the state owns and manages all land, all finances, all infrastructure, and all means of mass transportation, on top of all the things the state controls already.

    Idk what you think centralization of power looks like, but imo this is it.







  • Can’t talk for the free tier, but my Usenet account comes bundled with a paid Privado account, and that’s working ok so far. The connections have been reliable, fast, and low latency.

    My main issue has been that it doesn’t support port forwarding. Also, some GeoIP services locate many of their servers in the Netherlands, instead of where Privado says they are. Idk who’s right, but it’s definitely a problem if you want to pick a specific location.


  • Why stop half way? All you need is a benevolent dictator, shouldn’t be too hard to find, right?

    Some of these points are good, some are just absurd. Letting “the state” handle everything and hold all the cards, and then actually believing that it won’t be coerced and corrupted or that there won’t be strong disagreements about how to handle things is just delusional and wishful thinking on a grand scale imo.

    I agree that most modern countries need to strenghen the public sector, but you still need checks and balances between powers, individual responsibilities and freedoms, real-world economic feedback and incentives, and so on.
