Let me blunt: your views sound to me from your posts like authoritarian (e.g. fascist or authoritarian socialist) views. I get this impression mostly because you say you don't like democracy (!), but you also say that privacy is not very important and that having a "Big Brother" (a totalitarian figurehead) or limitation of freedom in general are acceptable if it's in the "interest of society". This kind of view is entirely the opposite of free software; either there is a massive mistranslation of your thoughts into English, or you are absolutely in the wrong place and must be having some severe cognitive dissonance.

Or, if you're an authoritarian socialist, maybe you're under the false impression that free software is a socialist idea. It sure is compatible with anarchist and libertarian socialism (I most closely identify as a left libertarian, perhaps a social anarchist), but the type of software that would be compatible with authoritarian socialist ideas is gratis proprietary software, despite what the Cuban government claims. The only reason most proprietary software is not compatible with an authoritarian state is because it means that someone else (e.g. Microsoft) is competing with the state for power, so the only way for software to be compatible with an authoritarian state is for the authoritarian state to take free software and make it nonfree itself, by withholding the source code which may or may not have been modified by the state, e.g. to spy on the users.

Anyway, you are the one who knows your views.
