On a side note wrt to bibliographies and the Frankfurt school Western Marxism by Gabriel Rockhill is a great book. Essentially an analysis of intellectual commodity production, ‘left wing’ academia, and the lessons of the past available when theory isn’t reified.

I should clarify, it’s more of a justification for tracking features and market protectionism (like allowing only 4 brands of printer) than an actual issue.

China survived the color revolution attempt in 89. Here on the western left we only accept martyrs and losers.

Aren’t printers pretty restricted due to needing to have surveillance and anti-counterfeit features? Is this legal at scale?
