Yes, I agree. But it's far easier to push technology----where incremental progress like Pine64-ing everything you own is possible----than push for political stuff when e.g. FTFP means you'd have to move first. I, for one, see technological replicating the stagnation and over-complexity of human systems (say US was kinda alright in 1790, Unix in 1970). I Hope that if the technological and organizational problems of free software/hardware can be solved, we can use that experience to tackle the real-life problems.
