You are probably already aware of this, but it is worth noting that categorisation needn't have hard boundaries, e.g. Lack of Privacy may not translate to lack of Security for everyone, but for example, a whistleblower, that can literally mean getting Boing'd

It's not the same though, those are fictional characters. I know a real person made them, but still, it's not the same

Tankies are state capitalists.

I don't know about the semantics anymore, so it's upto you if you want to say they are 'left', but anarchist spaces are the best of the bunch.

I reread this book recently and found it much less profound than my first read. I know people like to really harp about this book but it's not really that useful with what we know about reality today.

This reminds me when a senior engineer asked me to write exception handling on a one-off python script, not a production code - just a script devs can use internally. The "handling" was that the program should exit when a file is not found. He wanted me to try the file open, except the file error, print "file not found" message and exit(1).

Guess what, genius. Python already does that for you. No need to write an extra wrapper needlessly.
