    The party was meant to just be the organizer of the workers, not the ruler. The degeneration took off only after Lenin’s death and the 4th Congress of the Comintern, which was dominated by Troika. that’s why Mayakovsky was a devout Bolshevik until Stalinzation advanced and started scrapping several progressive conquests of October, leading to his suicide at the refusal to prop up the Stalinist degeneracy.

    Also Lenin was, for instance, not a big fan of the many experimental artistic movements that flourished after the Revolution, but did not suppress them, unlike Stalin.

    He also regretted banning other parties (but which was necessitated by every single one of them taking up arms against Sovnarkom) and before his death wanted to offer Trotsky a post of Commisar of Internal Affairs in a desperate bid to curtail the bureaucracy, but Trotsky, unfortunately, refused.











  • In Clojure, -> is used for inserting the piped argument at the head position in the arguments of whatever it is passed to, while ->> is used for inserting it at the tail. This approach is great for working with immutable data in a series of approachable transformations, which I believe is one reason why so many Domain-Specific Languages for generative programming are written in that language, aside from its interactive REPL. Additionally, there is no need to worry about excessive copying, as this is generally well optimized.

    This can be particularly useful with HoneySQL, which is more of a DSL for SQL rather than a typical ORM tool. For example:

    (defn apply-filters [query filters]
    "applies WHERE clauses to a query"
      (reduce (fn [q [column value]]
                (helpers/where q [:= column value]))
              query
              filters))
    
    (defn build-dynamic-query [{:keys [table columns filters sort-by limit]}]
      (-> {}
          (helpers/select columns)
          (helpers/from table)
          (apply-filters filters)
          (helpers/order-by sort-by)
          (helpers/limit limit)
          sql/format))
    
    ;; Result - a super readable function call that resembles a natural language 
    (build-dynamic-query 
      {:table :products 
       :columns [:id :name :price] 
       :filters {:category "electronics" :in-stock true}
       :sort-by [:price :desc]
       :limit 20})
