A Marxist website needs to look as early-internet/Soviet brutalism in modern form as possible! Reading theory online just doesn’t feel right unless the website feels like it’s been frozen in time since the end of the bloody Cold War!
Better yet, it should be text only, and look like some sort of super old tech relic from like '90 or '91, that’s only updates in 30 years have been for stability and compatibility with the modern 'Net, while not updating anything design wise! Old news articles and site announcements that refer to the USSR in present tense on the homepage! A time capsule of Online Leftism before Online was really a Thing!
(Unless, of course, modern design tools are used to give a feel of “Cold War era if we’d had modern tech back then” which is cool as fuck.)
