His fans alway point out that his ideas are for some greater good, but don't ever bother to elaborate how the ultimate future according to Stallman would look like.

Another common point is that they adore the guy sticking to his believes. You know what, believes can be wrong too…

His is way out simply because his needs and thinking is waaaay different from ordinary people (software users). I couldn't care less how proprietary is equipment in my car, all I want is it to run smoothly. On the other hand mechanic servicing my car couldn't care less what powers his computer as long as it does what he needs.

I am sure there will be a lot hand waving about the greater good without any demonstration of such good.

I don't think any radical idea was ever good.
