The internet is the greatest threat to capitalism and the control of society in all of history. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries the miserable lot of the average person that resulted from industrialisation was to some degree lightened by the ability of labor to organise together for common goals. Had better communications existed the outcome might have been different. Thats all past us know. We live good. We eat too much. There is one problem, the rest of the planet. What was the fight really about? was it really just higher wages? better working conditions? or was is motivated by something more fundamental? Why is life unfair? How can the wealthy, privileged and powerfully really believe (or convincingly ask us to believe) that they are different somehow? That the world is the way it is and that they are just reacting like us? or is it that they are just "better" somehow. None of it works. Can anybody really answer the question? the threat is that through the internet, we will become self-controling.
