Other non-democratic > countries should follow the example of the United States. The USA is a primitive totalitarian state. It is managed by very few people that pull the strings and control congress, the judiciary and the President (besides other more powerful agencies). The "system" is mounted so that the people think they have control. Of course that totalitarian states make small shows about the people deciding on small issues. But they keep for themselves the big decisions. And they convince the people that those are the best. So these totalitarian authorities have nice puppets that front with diplomats as authorities. Democracy is the only way the people can satisfy their needs. Of course I have not seen any country have a democracy. But it is easy to test where there is more: Where are the people happier with the political decisions made on the long run? > > 3."but you also say that privacy is not very important" > The Big Brother is a separate issue.

Totalitarian states show us how they capture criminals this way. But this is a minor use they give to it. The most usual use is persecution of political and economical opponents. > 4."if you're an authoritarian socialist, maybe you're under the false > impression that free software is a socialist idea." > By the way, some actions of FSF movement very similar to actions of > USSR, IMHO. For example, you also want to create the iron curtain. We are not against the user. We are against those that want to abuse the user. We do not want people to be captive. We want them to be free. How is that an iron curtain? If having convictions is closing doors, having to convictions is living in the wild. Having convictions is not at all closed. It is a choice of being faithful to ones own values. But those convictions can change if there is proof to the contrary. I do not know about the USSR very much. The USA invaded America with its own propaganda. So I only have enough information about the USA. But I do not support authoritarian attitudes. And I do not think anyone here does. -- Saludos libres, Quiliro Ordóñez Presidente (en conjunto con el resto de socios) Asociación de Software Libre del Ecuador - ASLE Av de la Prensa N58-219 y Cristóbal Vaca de Castro Quito, Ecuador (02)-600 8579 IRC: http://webchat.freenode.net?channels=asle&uio=OT10cnVlJjEwPXRydWU3a Todo correo que reciba será tratado como información pública, de libre copia y modificación, sin importar cualquier nota de confidencialidad.
