Democratize parallel computing?  That sounds like communist talk.

There's more to class struggle than just soviet socialism.

On topic, this is a kinda neat project. I guess it's still in the "neat idea" stage, but cool nevertheless. THis does have the "smell" of a kickstarter that may end up being far more difficult to realize than expected.

Quote from: Iggy;713025

Communism as a form of government simply doesn't work on a large or small scale.
 
For a good example read "Animal Farm".

Communism is the dissolution of the state, once all class struggles have ceased. It's the utopian end state. Like a perfect democratic society or a perfect free market, it can never be realized, only strived towards.
 
Until then we have various degrees of socialism, which works at various degrees of success, just like anything else.
 
(and er... Orwell.. really? He died as a convinced anarchist/socialist)

Will surely need to see what AROS can do on the board.

Something like this could be immensely cool for AROS, for sure. It kinda suits the spirit of AROS too.
