Well, and there’s surveillance from the client’s side, meaning connecting to the network will be unsafe for your social rating. If you accidentally connect to the network for even a second, you’re done.

Why would they? Capitalism built up this system because it serves capital, destroying the system built to generate as much profit as possible is like building a house, living in it for a while, then demolishing it. Why? Now, capitalism is unsustainable, but what instead we see is desparation from capitalists to preserve it. That’s what fascism is, the violent affirmation of the existing system. Capitalists aren’t Marvel villians. They’re real, with real drives for their real crimes.
You’ve seen how digital IDs are being introduced in the UK without people’s consent? What will you say when this happens across Europe, then in the US and other countries, again without people’s consent?
They need power for the sake of even more power, because there is nothing higher… This, in my opinion, is an excellent explanation of what the hell is going on.
Yes, digital IDs aren’t there to induce collapse, it’s just a bit more overt information control. No, capitalists don’t seek power for more power, power is sought for its ability to facilitate profits. One-liners aren’t true because they sound cool, but because they have attachment to material reality, and the reality of capitalism is that it selects for those capitalists that best obtain the most profits.
As the rate of profit has a tendency to fall, this needs to be countered by raising absolute profits, which means expansion and accumulation continuously. Control can help facilitate this, but it can also backfire, it was the intense control of colonialism that brought the end of colonialism by inciting national backlash. The same is happening with capitalist imperialism, the global south is reacting against the underdevelopment pushed on it from imperialism.
You need to analyze why systems function and where they are heading, please stop focusing on a Marvel-style good vs evil framing. That’s not how reality functions.
Well, you’re right.
