this article seems to rather support the american disease-atheist ´advanced´ consumerism rather than objectively state its advantages & disadvantages. There may be some ideological flaws which may be ridiculous. I consider myself as a hater of this US´culture´ based on money and deceit. People should hate evil, not love it. People should be aware of destructionist western liberal propaganda that seeks to simply destroy us as independent people. Democracy, freedom and some other bs for consumption, while elites are those who decide, money- lobby & propaganda decides, not a majority of independently thinking individuals. Bush said something like: it is a struggle between good and evil, but good will prevail.(when invading Iraq) Although he turned it 180 degrees calling himself good,... evil will prevail only when good people are passive-when theyre not selfless and not to be thrown into slaughter their evil masters will.(or use some bio weapon on them and call it some flu) US has done a lot of mischief, it doesnt speak about it, it doesnt stop it. Until that really happens, theres no evidence to stop hating the evil that comes from overseas.

Errors in terminology: Just the fact that The Russian leadership has these forward looking policies; ones such as an actual Anti-monopoly force and the focus on information for civil society means that the two "Capitalist" societies the US and RUSSIA are going to have very different dynamics. "capitalism" itself is becoming a meaningless term in a sense, and is only associated in the negative when in relation to a monopoly, which then means “capitalism” contradicts it’s self as a term in essence. I believe as a futurologist myself I believe the primary role of state and government is to keep the free flow of information open, and thus keep the ‘market’ competition system working effectively. Any policy that opens information and helps competition is positive, and literally any policy that harbours monopoly is a negative to a degree, and with some exceptions which lie at the national security level, and outside the commercial and civil level. For example; the Idea of a communal town is great, but the town must have a purpose A state shouldn’t just decide that a town should pop up, but a state can provide the relevant incentives to the market or pool of people that would find advantage for such a town, then in the competition process get the most efficient and environmentally friendly result based on the broad incentives offered by the state to steer the market towards that direction. This is efficient BECAUSE the state is NOT involved in a direct way but uses much less energy to ‘deflect’ if you like, the society in this or that direction, information flow makes this efficiency all the more relevant.
