That is simply not true. You can find free and completely open wifi pretty much everywhere in Russia (unlike european wifi, which usually requires sms or password). As for home internet, you don't have to confirm your identity other than use your id when you sign the contract with your provider.

Guess I got misinformed then. I only know what my friend from Moscow told me.
What about anti gay propaganda and blasphemy laws?

There would be far less problems in the whole world, if we would put the well being of all living things before money.
Darkness is unknowing, Light is knowing. Shed light to the Darkness to transform it into knowing. Thus it becomes Light.
Darkness is the absence of thought.

This is the altruism of the world. It's why capitalism fails, nobody can establish a true socialistic society, blah blah blah....

Capitalism = A fair way to keep slaves without them knowing/thinking they are slaves.

EDIT: I know im a slave to the system and truth be told there is nothing i can do about it. Unless i win the lottery, even then the system will ensure to take their cut and hinder me as much as possible along the way to drain the winnings if i am not careful.

There's always a way out, and I don't mean death. The question is are you willing to give up what you have for the "greener grass"?

The way out is always a gamble it could make the situation you are in so much worse, so sadly no, i am quite content were i am. (Unless you count my weekly lottery entry)

Let look at the places with the highest levels of economic freedom: Hong Kong, Singapore, New Zealand, Australia, Switzerland, and Canada. Yeah, that looks like a list of the ***** of the world. Now lets look at the lowest: North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Eritrea, Equatorial Guinea, Turkmenistan, Iran, and Congo. Definitely places you would want to live.
Backwoods:

Only a hand full of nations has tried Socialism with out a strong capitalist economy to back it up and they always have failed. Capitalism is not the only thing necessary to make a successful nation but it is a critically necessary part, at least at our current level of socio-economic development.
You seem to have the odd idea that Laissez-faire Capitalism is 'unfettered Capitalism' as that is what most of Western Europe and America are moving away from but they are not moving away from Capitalism. Your views on capitalism are 239 years old maybe you should learn about modern capitalism so you look less like an idiot.

None of the systems truely work, just capitalism is the best we have currently come up with.

1% of the worlds population own 50% of all the planets assets.

Sounds like an amazing system for that 1%
