So begins the dystopian nightmare our children will inherent. A world controlled by cooperations and freedom is awarded only to the few who can afford to buy it. The days of the American dream are over.

That has been the American dream ever since I can remember. Used to be called Manifest Destiny.

The American Dream moved north for a time and it still survives in pockets but it is terribly under siege even here, now. We have a third generation millionaire Prime Minister claiming to be the champion of the Middle Class all the while giving them the bum-titty ... wringing even more out of the Middle Class to pay for the "gifts" that he so graciously giveth back.

Who votes for these gubmints?



Look at you not getting sarcasm....dum dum.

Btw, what happened at Sandy Hook?

You're hunting around, looking for snippets of "rational" are you? They only loosen his bindings at certain times of the day, depending on how many orderlies there are around to restrain him, again.

This is all about censorship and blocking access to any anti-government or activist websites. First we have FaceBook and Google and the way has been cleared for ISP's to now do it as well.

Always remember, that the anger within all Western Democracies is huge and the leaders are "Terrified" that they are all going to be strung up on lamp posts as the economy continues to crumble.

The Ruling Class need to prevent the "Organization" of civil unrest. No matter the cost. Most all anti-government (anti-rich) dissent must not be allowed to leave or enter any desktop. The Ruling Class know very well that as they bring the censorship curtain down there will be many whistleblowers and their documents which can not be allowed to enter as discussions on the networks.

The very worst fears of the Ruling Class is "Organized" civil unrest.

congratulations capitalists. You just did what capitalism always does, is put more power and control to the top corporations.
Now you have China interment (communism), controlled to what you see, by the top 1 percent. You think you are free in capitalism. Now if it passes in congress and senate they have more power to keep the populace ignorant of the truth. They already got you wasting you time debating global warming is a hoax. Now they can keep you distracted even more by cutting out internet that is contrary to their agenda like the main news media now.

Maybe not now this will not happen when it passes, but slowly but surely they will cut every last thing on the internet that sway your opinion against their belief. Think ahead of what this bill can do. And as any non 1 percent person you would see that this bill is total rubbish.

A ploy to control the freedom of speech of the internet, cause the internet took that control they had with the main stream news.

A truly democratic society is one that is well read of the truth of what is going on. With this bill we will have an even more supposed democratic society that only believes what the corporations believe.

Here’s the crux of the issue: many people see capitalism as synonymous with the free market. But what this episode has shown us, more than anything else, is that the free flow of information exists not because of capitalism, but in spite of it. Capitalism is not a system of free exchange; rather, it is a system of profit maximization for those who own the capital. In some cases this may coincide with what are understood as free markets, but in a great many cases capitalists profit most by restricting the freedom of others, be it their workers, their consumers, or democratic institutions.

As a baseline, the public should own the infrastructure that provides internet access, and should either directly own, or substantively control, the companies that currently act as ISPs. But over the longer term, it may need to go farther than that. One concept the NN debate has outlined is how a few powerful companies can induce the government to introduce a policy so wrong-headed that it benefits virtually no one but those companies. Essentially, this highlights the fatal limitations of liberal democratic institutions without the presence of economic democracy.

We cannot have a democratic society where the internet is either constrained by ISPs, or dominated by a scant few companies. We cannot choose. The people—either directly or through their duly elected representatives—must control their own public venues, and in the 21st century, the internet is undeniably one of those most important public spaces. As British socialist Harold Laski once said:

The early history of socialism is most largely the record of a perception that the concentration of property…in a few hands is fatal to the purpose of the State…It is overwhelmingly right in its insistence that either the State must dominate property, or property will dominate the State.

I love watching Wally defending fascism. :)
Ending Net Neutrality is the opposite of Fascism.

Utter bullshit, top to bottom of the post.
