Aaron Swartz , a reddit founder, believed in this. He believed it so much he literally broke into databases and stole the entire contents of all scientific journals with intention to release it all. The man had real beliefs and he was willing to get dirty and do it himself and fuck the laws that are in the way.
In 2011, Swartz was arrested by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) police on state breaking-and-entering charges, after connecting a computer to the MIT network in an unmarked and unlocked closet, and setting it to download academic journal articles systematically from JSTOR using a guest user account issued to him by MIT.
He would have radicalised years down the line if the state hadn't hounded him until he killed himself. I genuinely believe he would have been one of us.
Sci Hub is blocked in the UK by court order btw. Have to VPN to get to it.
Liking or generally having an appreciation for Lenin and his theoretical developments is a litmus test for whether or not somebody has good politics imo. Always good to see Lenin. Never a bad time.
