gollark: Or be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
gollark: How to avoid problems in an authoritarian regime: just don't dissent. Or seem like you might be dissenting. Or be related to anyone who's dissenting. Or be related to anyone they think is dissenting. Or make mistakes. Or not immediately follow any instruction given. Or say anything which could be interpreted as dissenting.
gollark: But you would lose useful stuff like "almost all technology" if you just went to live in the woods somewhere.
gollark: You probably *could* mostly avoid capitalism if you really wanted to.
gollark: I agree. We must destroy all bailouts and also monopolies. Only then will they be somewhat efficient.
