No no, people can be very very very sure. The 20th C. tried both of those experiments and in the totalitarian system 10s of millions -- at least -- died.

Having your choices restricted by social cooperation and negotiation (in a market places) is NOT the same as having them restricted by a bully with a military.

This false equivalence is a defense of genocide whether you are willing to own up to that or not.

Oh no, I'm both British and leftwing.

My sympathy with state action ends however, when the leaders are murders, dictators and rutheless pilliagers of the public's wealth.

Russia's oligarchy stole Russia's wealth after the dissolution of the SU, and here you are equivocating objecting to regimes of murder and abuse with "muh food idle dont be having no choices fur me1112"£""11¬11223

The entitlement and ignorance is overwhelming. You arent owed two major search engines. "Bing" not being bigger is not the same as having to use apps which in encrypt your commnunication because you fear the police will imprison or murder you.

You are owed your political freedom. Which is de jure removed from you in Russia, and the suppression of telegram is state action to supress it further.
