I will have to point out that different people have made different comments in this thread. No one mentioned Communism before, user b59831. Furthermore the OP, just pointed out that Capitalism leads to surveillance. Which is necessary in a

He just explained to you that there's no state in a comune. Therefore there can't be no such thing as a communist government. A communist country has no government. You probably mean Marxist-Leninist "Communist" states.

We can't trust CEOs or the goverment to guide big tech to work for the common good. In my experience, the workers (not management) are collectively the most ethical entity within a company. It is too bad we have decided that workers sh

I disagree and I think there's enough information available that explains why Boris Johnson, proroguing parliament in the way that he did was unconstitutional and extremist. However, even if you are right and it is not extremism. That

I think you are correct. It seems to me to be a power struggle disguised as something that should be done for the good of the FOSS movement.

I think the ones you are referring to are still capitalist as companies are owned by an elite "capitalist" and the workers have no say in their workplace.

Europeans are more aware of class struggle than people from the United States. They didn't have a McCarthyism red scare. Since this news is about an European country, it is no so strange that people complain about the system that broug

That's not been my experience at all. What union of IT workers does this? Where are you getting this? I've been in unionized workplaces (Europe). There's been a minimum but never a maximum and the sliding scale is not driven

I disagree but I don't think a discussion with you would be productive. The sarcasm tells me you are not going to engage honestly. If you wish to learn more about the negative psychological effects of being watched all the time, there&

On a side note, oh man the stories I could tell you. Pair programming all the time is like an evolution of Foucault's panopticon. You police yourself because you are closely being watched all the time and your peers will tattletale to
