      To protect his followers from the capitalists, surely…

      It clearly should not be allowed for private ownership of the means of truth creation; education, news media, etc. but the alternative is either state control, or praying that a true grassroots, democratic and consistent news media takes firm and permanent it will not only start but continue. Small wonder the latter hasny had many chances to be experimented with since the chaos out of what is almost always a revolution means when power is taken or “order restored” it again is either capitalists with means to produce news media or the state.

      In 2025, costs of production are effectively zero, so it could be done, but now the monster of misinformation–which also has costs of production of zero–is a well oiled and established.

      Where do you go from here?
