This is how an online "service" business should be run imo. Being able to use wireguard directly with no weird app in between fits my needs perfectly as well, goodbye borderline-unsupported custom OpenVPN configurations. Being able to pay in cash and have an account with zero information attached to it brings a peace of mind, even though it's totally unnecessary, at least in my humble use case. Since then I have been a customer of Mullvad's and honestly, no affiliation, they're on another level entirely.
But I am sure if you've been paying attention, you know how that ended.
They happened to sponsor/fund some things in my sphere of interest and were relatively reputable between my circle of acquaintances. Privateinternetaccess was the first VPN service I ever purchased, out of necessity when the internet piracy scene first began showing signs of the predatory mess it is today. Or we could talk about how the Constitutional Democrat party was banned outright a few weeks later, and its members subject to arrest. (d) Monks and clergy of all denominations "Īs for liberal, one of the first Bolshevik decrees was the "decree on the press", which specifically stated that "bourgeois press" is not subject to freedom of speech. (c) Private merchants, trade and commercial brokers (b) Persons who have an income without doing any work, such as interest from capital, receipts from property, etc. "(a) Persons who employ hired labor in order to obtain form it an increase in profits Urban votes, on the other hand, were mostly factory workers, who tended to support Bolsheviks.įurthermore, the same constitution outright banned several groups of people from voting: Most rural votes (and thus votes in general, back then) were those of peasants, who tended to vote for parties such as SR. That is, one urban vote counted for 5 rural votes. "The All-Russian Congress of Soviets is composed of representatives of urban soviets (one delegate for 25,000 voters), and of representatives of the provincial (gubernia) congresses of soviets (one delegate for 125,000 inhabitants)."
The USSR was never meant to be a very liberal and democratic state.įor one example, Soviets forcibly disbanded the (democratically elected) Constituent Assembly after 13 hours of operation, because they didn't get the majority in it, and couldn't influence its decision - and this happened several years before the USSR was even formed.įor another example, the very first Soviet constitution (of 1918 again, before USSR was even a thing!) allocated voting power as follows: You can never REALLY be sure, but from what I can tell mullvad is the most honest and sincere vpn company in the space and I wouldn't even consider going anywhere else.
They started funding wireguard before it was cool and before anyone else gave a shit about wireguard. back then bitcoin was on the super fringe and the only people interested and involved in it where people that were ideologically aligned with it's vision. No matter what you think about crypto they were probably one of if not the first companies in the world to start accepting bitcoin in 2010 and have always self hosted their infrastructure, not offloading it to bitpay or whatever other company that just funnels right into chain analysis companies. They don't use accounts or collect email addresses. it's also first to step into new technology and infrastructure because they are truly interested and ideologically invested in what they are doing. Mullvad has a long history of proving itself as being a good faith actor in the space.
