This is a manufactured fake greentext. Some kind of CIA psyop to whitewash 2011 4chan as somehow pro LGBTQ or chill with My Little Pony. I mean there's nothing necessarily wrong with that, it's just kind of ridiculous to try and act like this comes from 2011.

Marx outlined that socialism and communism each had to be transitioned to

No. Socialism is an economic mode of production. Communism is a set of social relations that are theorized to appear out of material abundance. Communism uses socialism as a mode of production. There is no transition from Socialism to Communism.

There already is no scarcity for basic needs

My parents have an Alexa and I have no choice in whether they install one in our house or not. I doubt they would be convinced by my pleas about privacy. So unfortunately and reduction in whatever privacy that was left is a shame.

Sitting around and waiting for a revolution from a small group of people with one idea of how to run things is a bad idea

This is just a strawman of vanguardism . The bolshevik revolution was only possible with the overwhelming support of the peasants and proletariat class. A revolution is literally not possible without huge numbers of soldiers turning on the government.

DS9 has

Religion Apologia (Bajoran Prophets)

War Crimes Apologia (Siskos multiple war crimes)

CIA Apologia (Glamorization of Section 31)

Nationalist War Glamorization (Dominion Federation War)

The entire last two seasons are nothing but glamorizing a traditional "good vs evil" war with the Federation basically serving the role of a nationalist hegemonic superpower.

I like Deep Space Nine, but to act like it's anything but the degeneration of Star Trek into its most base capitalist apologia spacewar elements is a stretch.

systemd is an init system and just has not played the same role in the development of GNU/Linux distributions like GNU has. before systemd there was sysvinit, and there are number of alternate init systems. It's not about system functionality that we name operating systems.

Uh no, it's not. GNU has been integral to the GNU/Linux project for years. Without GCC, coreutils, glibc, there would be no linux distributions. Systemd has not played the same role.

Debian GNU/Linux has been called Debian GNU/Linux since at least 1997 https://lists.debian.org/debian-announce/1997/msg00013.html
