“Stateless” doesn’t mean “governmentless,”

According to the original socialist "state == hierarchical rule" definition, yes it does. Even Marx, even the Soviets, admitted that and did not confuse "real existing socialism" (sic) with actual communism.

the dissolution of the Socialist system nearly a century after its founding does not mean they never had a Socialist economy.

Congratulations, you understand sarcasm.

Further, such a system did not “exploit the masses,”

Irrespective of the veracity of that statement: Not something I said. Not the point.

On Authority doesn’t strawman anything.

Maybe you would be able to spot the strawman if you tried less hard to misunderstand my previous post. Something about resilience against something? Necessary preconditions?

while Marxists have

Sure bud. Tell yourself that. While the USSR ultimately reached the stateless part, no actual groundwork for socialism was laid so banditry took over once the Bolshevik power structure collapsed. What followed was a free-for-all until the KGB got its shit together and... instituted imperialist nationalist capitalism. That organisation really hasn't changed since the times of the Tsar.

The Bolsheviks did not build resilience against any of that because building a society which is resilient against rule of minority groups seeking to exploit the masses would have undermined their own rule. The whole thing is inherently self-contradicting, Anarchists have been telling that Marx himself long before either of us were born so stop telling us to "read Marx". Rather, you read "On Authority" and identify the strawmen.

(impossible, as was proven by Rosa Luxemburg)

Err what.

“State Capitalism” refers to a specific formation where a Socialist State employs a market-focused economy

Lenin's economy. Market-focussed. I'm just going to leave that standing there, uncommented.

See I don't even disagree, in principle, with the statement "The SPD does not know how to bring about socialism". Only Anarchists do. Thing is: The SPD's approach is still way more on the money than anything tankies have ever come up with.

The SPD, to this day, still works towards democratic socialism. It's been in the programme since the start. They have a lot of "belly-aches" along the way and they're often called traitors but, well, if they weren't leftists they could hardly betray the left, could they.

Social Democracy is not Socialism, it’s Capitalism with larger and more robust safety nets

And Marxism-Leninism is state capitalism, not socialism. Maoism doesn't even have public healthcare, Bismark was more of a socialist than that.

I wouldn't say primary type, they just happen to be the primary example that theory (complexity analysis etc) is taught with. Hence also the veritable zoo of very very bad sorting algorithms that still have proper names. There's no quantum bogosort for string search.

Which is just stochastic optimisation.

Which yes is exactly what evolution does, big picture. Small picture the genome evolves a bit more intelligently, using not random generation and filtering but an algorithm employing randomness to generate, and then the usual survival filter because doing it that way is, well, fitter. Also what you can see under a microscope.

Merkur 23C, btw, in case anyone is looking for a safety razor that's both inexpensive and very good. Unchanged for literally a century now, no fancy materials ("aerospace-grade aluminium") but good ole chromed zinc and brass. On the blade side, Russians being out of the picture, BIC is probably the right choice unlike other western brands they didn't slouch on quality. Feather is always an option but many consider them too sharp. Also, more expensive. BICs should be somewhere around 15ct a piece. Don't buy anything of that stuff from Wilkinson or such their offerings in that area seem to only exist to make safety razors look bad.

because Zuckerberg did Jujitsu

LMFAO that coordination failure of a leek I have to see that.

I can't believe this exists. Watch carefully how Lex Fridman (yes that one) goes to great lengths to not kill Zuckerberg in training.

As to martial arts in general and assholery, I'll just leave this here.

Higher refresh rates for movies are meh at best, VRR OTOH is a godsend as 24Hz just won't fit into 60Hz. Gaming, too, is much nicer when you have VRR, figures that delayed frames are quite a bit less noticeable than dropped frames.

Depends on whether you grow crops specifically to turn into fuel or ferment waste that would otherwise ferment in the open.

The main point on the European level revolved around whether construction of gas plants should get access to some green fund or the other, to which the answer is yes because they'll always carry some on-demand load, and seasonal storage is bound to include syngas because we'll need that stuff anyway as chemical feedstock.

US/Canadian border from roughly Vancouver to Winnipeg. Berlin is further north than Saskatoon, Karlsruhe is on the 49th parallel. The lot of mainland Europe is north of Albuquerque. In fact much of Tunesia is north of Albuquerque. Miami is on about the same parallel as Bahrain, Orlando on the same as New Delhi.
