    I thought B2 was a bit more boring to read tbh, not necessarily for the content but it felt more of a ‘repeat’ (to me personally at least) as the function and workings of the state in a capitalist (or any) system is something I’m so disillusioned about that i don’t really need to hear much about it, it’s kinda obvious once you start seeing and feeling it and I don’t feel the need to overanalyze about the cruelty, injustice abuse of power, …

    Still had a few quotes i’m gonna save in my quotation bank of course

    Gotta say, I managed to read like ~17 out of the 36 pdf pages of B.0-B.1, hopefully I might manage to catch up this time:)

    Lol as I’m keeping notes, this reminded me of the importance of impermanence in nixos

    The state also ends up marginalising “our” representatives

    • As power rests not in the elected bodies, but in a bureaucracy, popular control becomes increasingly meaningless
      • It’s the institutions that have power in the state due to their permanence, not the representatives who come and go

    What if the leftovers of programs in the filesystem make up the bureaucracy of the operating system? And thats why we try to make state-less systems?
