    bash is "object'ish" - the thing is that the objects are called "programs", and they have "standard interfaces" called STDIN and STDOUT, etc...

    Stalin and Mao were in charge of Totalitarian regimes, with a Command Economy.

    christ, neither shot was close to the goal.

    The idea of a dictator was a brainfart by Lenin who got tired of the proles not rising up on their own. he decided that they needed to be led, and that they would never become self aware.

    Lenin started the damn "communism needs a dictator" thing, and its been screwed up since then.

    if you've read marx:

    you will notice that the changes in economic system correspond almost directly with political system.

    from agri-communism to feudalism through the industrial revolution, each has been marked with a change in political structure.

    economics and politics go hand in hand.

    marx has predicted that those who control the means of production will gain so much power as to take over the government functions. it is a result of this consolidation and abuse of power that causes the underclass to rise up and grab the power back.

    this is akin to the workers unionization after the industrial revolution. the workers were abused by the industrialists, and in response rose up against their oppressors in the form of unions, and demanded fair compensation etc.

    notice that this is also the time when more widespread voting power came about - universal suffrage. women, mostly at this point.

    the california districts are not nearly as influential as teh texas ISD's.

    I stand by my statement: the Texas ISD's are the single most influential force in textbook publishing today. They are far more organized, and have far greater buying power than any other entity.

    the "extreme liberal" crap is a bogeyman - just because some of us want crazy ideas like "evolution" and "environmentalism" doesnt make us extremists, just well grounded in reality.
