(historical) A deputy commander for political affairs in the Soviet Union.
12/ supply creating its own demand
13/ >small departures from equality are allowed to be spoken
>but these departures narrow and become fewer
14/ the body is a mecha, a biosuit for the genes
15/ equalitarianism signalling is the new advertising
and nothing is too over the top
16/ an honest mistake:
the *lawyers* are one of the top dogs: both of the wokeism, and of the state. the state showers free money on victims - on their *counsels*, really - for the purpose of litigating the corporations - and *the state itself*
17/ authoritarianism: to protest you are required to acquiesce to the underlying narrative
18/ it's not clear whether a company stuffed full of "muh victims" will be *allowed* to fail.
perhaps "too victimized to fail" will be the new "too big to fail"? the large woke corps just *might* ride this one through.
19/ coupled with "work from home", this gives interesting dynamic:
a suburban wife, being paid out of her husband's productivity, to sit at home and gossip with friends, under the banner of "special projects".
the funny part of it is - this is sensible plan for b2c *marketing*

2/ the fall of the soviet union - theories abound:
- it was bankrupted by Star Wars
- it became too corrupt & incompetent to go on
- the people woke up and threw off the yoke of tyranny
bollocks.
it was the elites.
3/ early on in the soviet revolution they killed off nearly all of the elites - art, academia, military, science, management.
excepted were only the high-IQ, middle class "elites" at the extreme top of the bolshevik faction.
other than that, the USSR was bereft of the elites.
2/ the political alignments aren't shifting, because the current ones did *exactly* what the established wanted: they kept the establishment in power; Reps as "spicy opposition"; DSA as "far left bogeyman"; Dems as "moderates in between".
3/ the economics point is a bit subtler:
- there is no need to *publicly* punish or shame anybody, because no group has been *officially* blamed for the economic meltdown
- no major economic players enter or leave the political scene (only the small & medium businesses)
