And how will Instagram know who my parents are?

Regardless of how or why it failed, the constitution and the society it represented, failed to secure the continued existence of the country.

A constitution is not the only way to form a country and the two examples you gave both ended up with a despot in charge.

Yes.

However, the country that OP is discussing ceased to exist and thus its founding documents are pretty much irrelevant.

I am attempting to point out that a document that you’re holding up as an ideal, together with what it represents and how society surrounding it was structured did not last for more than 55 years, which is less time than I’ve been on this planet.

While it might represent something that you find appealing or inspiring, it didn’t last, or said differently, it failed.

I’d also point out that countries like Australia don’t have a constitution at all and they’ve lasted longer than that.

I think that you need to find a better argument to promote a worker based economy. Perhaps the co-op based system in Italy, which has lasted longer, is a more sustainable way to go.

You fail to understand that the USSR ceased to exist. What remains is run by a despot, regardless of your feelings or intent.

… and both countries are run by despots.

So … a company that despite decades of effort, can’t make a competitive web browser with all the help in the world, is now going to distract itself with even more non-essential rubbish with absolutely zero chance of success … can’t wait to hear what the excuse is going to be when this CEO leaves to pursue other opportunities.

Meanwhile the Assumed Intelligence Ponzi scheme will have collapsed, taking with it a significant portion of the economy, let alone the ICT industry.

This timeline needs some tweaking…

I suspect that the house of cards will come tumbling down as soon as one of the companies in this massive Ponzi scheme fails to pay their bill.
