The most important thing that I've learned from Stallman is that "craft a story - don't worry how convoluted it might appear - where corporations take actions in order to benefit themselves at the cost of everyone else" is a good heuristic to predict the future in a capitalistic society.

To be clear, this isn't criticism of capitalism. Capitalism has good things and bad things, and I have faith that we can keep the good things and mitigate the bad things. Instead the point of my comment is to highlight how some times our intuition starts moving in the right direction but we stop it because "come on that's too far fetched, they'd never do that".

Yes, of course Stallman was right.
