Comment on The Dangers of Socialism they warned us about...

I think the trick is that evil capitalism sells it to you as something you’d actually want. Or a lot of people want. Meanwhile evil communism kinda forces it onto people more directly.

Store all of your private data on some storage devices sitting anywhere in the world and let people manage it you do not know and can not be sure they’re not accessing it?
That’s the convenience of the cloud!

Let some weirdos obsess over your social life, connections, and what you ate for breakfast to sell that data and show you stuff that manipulates you to do their bidding?
That’s the advantage of staying in touch with friends and family over social networks!

Carry a device with you that tracks your whereabouts and monitors each and every interaction you have with it? That’s smartphones for you. But hey, at least you can find your way to the next McDonalds thanks to the navigation and map apps.

And this was “just” the technological aspect of things.
