I can see that. Control of Information = Control of Capital and
Populations. Dissemination of (censored) information in the form of
distribution (esp. in previously un-exploited markets - the fact that the
3rd world is pretty big is handy) of advertising creates local false
wealth and global recognition of control over populations. We were taught
it would happen in school and here it is, all around us.

The censorship is global. Some governments are outright blatent about it,
others that pretend to 'grant' 'rights' and 'freedoms' are sneakier.
Ultimately, the real power is in the hands of those who have control over
deciding just what information to disseminate, which has been the press
traditionally. We see how much the Internet challenges that fact, we have
yet to see what the adjustments will be.

The problem with communism is... who would police the whole damn thing?
That's what I wanna know. :)
