market capitalism will prioritize putting most resources into spyware and adware that turns the consumer into a product. Along with that constant reinventing of the wheel in proprietary software in the name of "competition", even though index/hedging funds oligopoly leads us into stagnation in terms of innovation these days with one 'next great thing' after another turning out to be mostly an overspeculated fad. I'd say vote for pirate parties but that's actually BS as is all parliamentary politics in this quasi-aristocratic system, even if they launch large scale grant programmes they'll very likely back down on them whenever an economic slump happens.
