How is our credit score system much different than a centralized database used to control individuals?

Allegation of your excessive alcohol consumption or unpopular opinions is not going to decrease your credit score. Your donation to the government "charity" is not going to increase your credit score. With low credit score, you can still take a train to anywhere you want.

Generally agree, but have fun finding a place to live though, it seems around me even small landlords seem to want credit checks.

It's a privately ran optional system. I do realize that society generally makes it non-optional, but then that gets into arguments about running a debt based monetary regime.
