Besides the negative function of repressing the bourgeois, another, positive, role that any state that is, or will be, consciously moving away from capitalism is the transformation of what is called 'bureaucracy' --which in part a fairly mundane process of quantitative technical refinement:

"Either we prove now that we have really learned something about state organisation (we ought to have learned something in five years), or we prove that we are not sufficiently mature for it. If the latter is the case, we had better not tackle the task.

I think that with the available human material it will not be immodest to assume that we have learned enough to be able to systematically rebuild at least one People’s Commissariat. True, this one People’s Commissariat will have to be the model for our entire state apparatus.

We ought to at once announce a contest in the compilation of two or more textbooks on the organisation of labour in general, and on management in particular. We can take as a basis the book already published by Yermansky, although it should be said in parentheses that he obviously sympathises with Menshevism and is unfit to compile textbooks for the Soviet system.

We can also take as a basis the recent book by Kerzhentsev, and some of the other partial textbooks available may be useful too.

We ought to send several qualified and conscientious people to Germany, or to Britain, to collect literature and to study this question. I mention Britain in case it is found impossible to send people to the U.S.A. or Canada."

It is unclear whether Ebert ordered the paramilitaries to kill Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht - but nonetheless, both were beaten mercilessly and shot to death before being dumped in a canal, to be discovered later. it is most likely the case that Ebert had ordered this, but we can't be certain.

sounds like he gave them... two thumbs down

Naked force has resolved more conflicts throughout history than any other factor. The contrary opinion, that violence doesn't solve anything, is wishful thinking at its worst. People who forget that always die.

Stanford students showing creativity in their protests by holding hands around the administration building and singing a soft but sweet carol. I really enjoyed it since they were using positive energy through singing to effect their cause.

i dropped out of a law program after a few weeks like a million years ago and got full tuition reimbursement and then someone told me they called my name at graduation and i've always thought, should i have taken the resume line? but it turns out you don't need a degree or license to practice law in the united states so it would have been coals to newcastle.

i had a good convo with my dad the other day at dinner. he was talking about how all his military buddies were talking about refugees and how they shouldnt be allowed in, then he mentioned the two year process to immigrate here unless you were a banker or something and how that was bullshit. i was pleasantly surprised
