There's a lot wrong with this article, and it's obviously steeped in bias. But there are some interesting ideas to be picked out from between the nonsense. In particular, I'm very sympathetic to the sense that the predominant styles of government prior to 2000 (esp Western Democracy) are obsolete in an era where there is instant, open access to information (and disinformation). The author's main point seems to be: unless the establishment can manage to regain control over information flows (a la the Chinese government) we will see a drastic reshaping of society.
