How is it considered appropriate to name this project Trotsky? Would they name a project Goebbels or Himmler?
This is hilarious and previous HN commenters are in sore need of political reeducation to free them from the bourgeois counter-revolutionary ideology clouding their senses of humor.

Are you seriously equating a Russian revolutionary and the German Third Reich?

He was of the same caliber of mass murder. He was one of the main architects of the red terror that claimed hundreds of thousands of lives. The whitewashing of Trotsky and of Lenin does nobody any favors. They were mass murdereres not whitstanding whatever utopia they were dreaming off.

Re: Enabling a permanent revolution in internet architecture
#15In Trotskyist theory, permanent revolution has a specific meaning. There are two main components:
1. A socialist, proletarian revolution has to occur in a pre-capitalist society (such as Czarist Russia), bypassing the step of a bourgeois, capitalist revolution (such as the French Revolution), which Orthodox Marxism expected to be necessary in such countries.
2. The revolution has to be global, in contrast with eg. Stalin's theory of Socialism in One Country.
Seeing as permanent revolution is 1. not incremental and 2. does not allow for co-existence with capitalism, it seems sort of strange to name this approach after it.

To be fair, I don't think they believed in anything they were selling to the masses. They just used it to get enough power to establish themselves as stable as absolute monarchs(the end of the great terror was the moment when elites realized that they actually already that) Which is exactly why no one should have as much power. The only question how to make it impossible?

#17As far as I'm concerned this paper more or less describes HTTP(S) fairly well. The "3.5" address is the domain name that resolves to a meaningful IP address for the L3 domain you are in. Folks are already using disjoint L3 address spaces with elements like load balancers providing the bridge between the public IP space and their own private IP space. I don't know if you could ever sell me on having more than one "mai…
Sure, but only if you ignore the specifics and over generalize. As overlaying is fundamental to all client server communications.
