Comment Re:long live the status quo (Score 0) 459

With the rise of religious fundamentalists in US and it's control over some of the key infrastructure, Internet co-managed by technocrats from 'nations like China' does not sound like the scariest possible scenario, in particular if that control works like the UN - one weak decision every 10 years; I'd be pretty well off. By no means I support the 'Chinese model' but can't see much of a difference to the US.

Comment strategy of tension (Score -1, Redundant) 426

At this point I wouldn't be that sure that they are actually anarchists, Italian state has a long and well established history of blowing up their own citizens and blaming the anarchists ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategy_of_tension#Piazza_Fontana_bombing ). Anarchist generally dropped 'individual terror' somewhere in the early 20th century as it failed to bring any actual change or a revolution, so even anarchist or anarchist terrorist groups do everything to ensure there will be no casualties of their attacks. Greek groups like CCF, US and UK's ALF and ELF never killed or aimed to harm anybody AFAIK. Italy on the other hand has this terrorist group always popping up around serious political issues, called nearly the same as the Anarchist Federation of Italy (IAF)... While most anarchist groups would do everything they can to distinguish themselves from other groups (think "Life of Brian"). Just saying.
