Abstract

There should be something immeasurably insidious about a government that spies on its citizens. And if one universal truth counts, it is that no country wields a monopoly on intrusive conducts. Whenever a ruling class, from whatever region, espousing whatever central political philosophy, feels increasingly threatened by the unforeseen, unpredicted emerging independence of its underclass, steps are immediately taken to monitor conversations, document strategies, and invade privacies—bearing witness to the fierce consequences of collective struggle.
