Interesting comments with regard to a 'Modernization class' I disagree in a respect but having said that i have not read the full article and will try to . my opinion on the matter is this: 1. there is no absolute need to rush this system, as I mentioned in another piece I believe the PRIMARY multiplier of the even flow of information is the psychological investment in this or that system, so for example, I believe under this equation ALL other information flow multipliers are of a secondary nature. Also i would like to come back to this point. I have wanted to write an essay on this; but some people believe that 'freedom' and 'free flow' systems are just the result of either: 1. luck or 2. excess capital (a more 'Marx' point of view) I believe this is to think about the issue in a totally backward manner; IT IS the good incentive based policies that set the stage for the direction of a healthy civil society, and as we have noticed these are the societies that advanced, it was not the other way around, that by chance luck or good fortune that these societies just happened to innovate and advance THEN as a result of the excess capital where able to afford to have a free society.

The former ‘free’ society the 'west' enjoyed came about as a result of 'acceptable' policy before information was closed down or became one way (because although the multiplier was much less, information was much much more 'free', that is to say NOT one way). Our ‘free’ societies have done as well as they have DESPITE modern one way communications, humans love to market and to free information and communicate, humans love colour we don’t technically need it but never the less we are human, when information closes down humans will make up the rest, a black market is the market that exists when there is no white market, the market never died it changed. The market is human. Now Russia has a chance to go so much further, but the people will understand if the information is one way or two way, it is obvious , so as policy evolves so along with it will the ‘free information class’ whom is literally anyone under the lawful incentive based policies.

Things can not be rushed, there is no revolution to be had in this respect, it is an evolution, what is the definition of a revolution? a violent armed takeover?, this could and only does occur when the deviation, the gap, of information and communications becomes so large that the citizens decide that it is worth while to humanly risk harm to themselves to effect change.. Now that is a serious break down of information, and communication. These cases can only occur in situations of extremely interrupted information flow , so for example one way systems , TV, RADIO etc or excessive Disinformation. any two way system of information acts to developing the further evolution. examples , community TV with un-moderated call-back, Community Radio un-moderated call-back, Internet Bulletin boards, free low or un-moderated internet bulletin boards, independent IP web sites. What will occur is a slow feedback loop of free information, if this does not occur then the even flow is interrupted , in this band new system , the political system will set good policy which encourages feedback , then as the feedback effects policy in the most even path (because the most amount of people are involved) this further gives incentive to the people to engage as they see change occur. From a purely economic term the efficiency potential of a feedback system such as this is really surprising, and as the law of exponential returns occurs, the broad base may take years but then the feedback will expand greatly , of course it will be taken for granted at that time ha ha.
