John Perry Barlow: Internet has broken political system
“The political system is broken partly because of Internet,” Barlow said. “It’s made it impossible to govern anything the size of the nation-state. We’re going back to the city-state. The nation-state is ungovernably information-rich.”
Translation: “We’d have world Communism by now if it wasn’t for you meddling freedom-lovers!”
The Flemish separatists have been around for a long, long time, well before the Internet. Countries are stitched together out of factions and then break up on their own. No computers needed.
Isn’t that interesting? And they want to shut down the internet here. Can’t stand ‘too much information’ getting around.
