What does it even mean to know an indexing system?
An index is useful because I don't need to remember that 802.11 or whatever is biographies of anarchists, I can just go look it up
IEEE 802.11 is the standard for WiFi, guess that's your daily Wrong on the internet post? But check this out:
3xx - Social Sciences
33x - Economics
335 - Socialism and Related Systems
335.83 - Anarchism
At the very least, everyone should learn the first digit groups in school:
omg you absolutely deweyed on that user
All I remember about the Dewey decimal system is that I had to walk across the building and onto another floor if I was looking for a book about a Black American (300s, social sciences) or White American (900s, history)
Edit - I just looked up 335 - Socialism and Related Systems:
335 - Socialism and Related Systems
335.6 - Fascism
