Your logic seems to be “well capitalists exist so we have to do as they do and use the state to do half ass measures which they can readily roll back with lobbyists next election”

My logic is fuck the capitalists, steal their shit, and if they try to lock you up fucking smash their heads in. Sorry if I don’t support incrementalism.

What the hell are you talking about What "other levels of power", you mean making it practically difficult without it being illegal? Ebooks are already DRMed to hell and back, it still doesn't stop people
