Modern computers and the Internet make a PLANNED ECONOMY hardly " utopian "


The Sydney rally to defend Julian Assange: An important step forward  

[The capitalist ruling classes and their representatives in the US and internationally are terrified of the power that the Internet provides to the working class, to ordinary people.
“It gives them access to alternative analysis and news; the ability to exchange information and opinions; and to politically organise across national borders: to unite together as an international force.” ]

And what makes a PLANNED ECONOMY less " utopian " than modern computers and the Internet ? It was also famous science writer Isaac Asimov's dream for the SELF-EDUCATION of humanity. All his life Asimov was a foe of the " cult of ignorance ".
But " The Armies of the Night " are still on the march .
