I don't think countries that are ruled with communism ended up as a dictatorship because of the ruling class. Maybe it was inevitable.

What makes me say that? Because the concept of complex systems (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_system) gave me a new approach to think about different economic and social organizations.

Economy (and society) is a complex system and it is impossible to model perfectly (at least for now). So any approach that attempts to have everything under control will (eventually) fail. Or you may need to use force to mold the reality to your hypothetical system.

Capitalism may not be the best system there is, but it certainly aligns with a complex systems point of view.

I didn't use any tiling window manager so I don't really know what I'm missing. But I've come up with a system based on my own needs.

I use Hammerspoon (https://www.hammerspoon.org/) and a few little Lua methods to do the following and it works perfectly:

- Resize windows

- Position windows around the screen

- Instantly jump between apps I frequently use (this is especially good, for example with option+1 I can focus on the browser, with option+2 I can focus on my text editor, no more cmd+tab)

I think that is called Web Annotation: https://www.w3.org/annotation/

I was just thinking about this the other day and the subjective statement was "powerful".
