Are you sure you have enough operating brain cells to comment here? You obviously don't know anything about socialism. And even if Rushkoff and Doctorow don't know much about tractors and farms--John Deere is a bad company. Somebody is going to do better in this regard, just as is happening with ADM and Monsanto and the seed problem. Everybody does not have to do business this way. And they're not. And I'm pretty d**m glad I can tell fools like you how hidebound and learning delayed you are, too. You are proud out in public showing off your ignorance and inability to learn and grow.
