This comment aged like milk. It's quarter past midnight already. Good night

So the bolshevik state bureaucracy wasn't a new ruling class giving themselves privileges others didn't have?

Not exactly. The lowest level of councils is free for everyone to attend to. These neighborhood councils send delegates to the city level and so on. These delegates are revocable so when they don't do what the basis wants, they are gone. Also on each level, each group can opt out if they want. And decisions are made on the lowest level possible so much more voluntary and less central than Canada

aside from the decentralization of power?

That's the whole point. If your state concept is broad enough to entail any organization of a certain size, be my gast in a council republic

So we have a factory council open to all workers in the factory to make decisions and send revocable delegates to the city council where they talk to the delegates of farmer councils, consumer councils, .... If the factory council makes unfair decisions (and I assume you mean all the workers in the factory belong to the petite bourgeois since they all can attend the council), the consumer council can take collective action to counter it.

So who is the ruling class? Certainly not the bureaucracy as in liberal and bolshevik states since it doesn't exist here. Or is it the city council? They are revocable, not elected for a given period. Like the soviets before the Bolsheviks ruined everything.

With a world wide net of councils, all connected but not centralized

That's state socialism, a specific kind of socialism that wants to keep the state apparatus, not realizing that it will always (re)create a ruling class. Different from Libertarian Socialism which unironically want a stateless society, not as a never to reach end goal.

I'm doing my part

Wait, isn't socialism all about class solidarity? "Working together regardless of class to fight a common enemy" sounds more like nationalism where at the end the upper class profits most. Unless we are talking about a classless society but that's not "regardless of class" but "with no class distinction" which sounds very similar when I think about it.

I love how halvfems exists but fems doesn't (and I guess it never did)

I also live in Europe and where I live it's not common

It's an identity matrix. You multiple a vector with it and the result is still the same (identical) vector

I think they used whole sentences back in the days and it was in the printing press era that they started abbreviating things to letters and symbols

That's one theory why x is used in math so much: in times of the printing press, the letter x was barely used so always free

That way you can search one instance but not the fediverse

That's more or less how it worked in premodern times. You didn't start at midnight but devided the day into 12 hours, starting with the first hour at sun rise and the 12th at sun set. For (ancient) Rome, their hours were like 45min to 1:15h which isn't too much a difference when you think about it. Also it isn't a bad idea to work less hours in winter so you can experience the sun at all.
