Slightly less theatrical than Miles makes it. The state is the most visible predator, but not the only one. Capital collects surveillance data as eagerly as any three-letter agency. Your phone knows where you sleep. Your bank knows your transactions. Your insurer tracks your heart rate. The answer isn't 'smash the state, let markets rule' — markets already surveil you, they just call it personalisation. Cryptographic protocol design might offer an escape. Might. The state-versus-market framing is the distraction. Period.
