Besides the fact that it represents an attempt to sublimate our economic system directly from capitalism to Soviet socialism, forcing internet connections on offline products is the bane of user experience.On the contrary, making people dependent on private companies profiting of a public good is the most capitalistic thing i can think of. But I have to admit capitalism is also very good at making its worse aspects look like it isn't part of itself. Ultimately, no actual large scale government system will tend towards a greater individual empowerment because it would mean relinquishing some of this intoxicating power.
When you hold the knife, why would you give yourself a smaller cake slice?
