Dot Commers Are Really Dot Communists
from the it-all-makes-sense-now dept
A fairly weird article pointing out all the parallels between young dot commers of today and young Soviet communists of the 1930s. It makes for a good read, but the parallels aren't really that strong. Mostly they're based on the idea that both groups were passionate about what they were doing, and neither turned out to work that well in the end.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
