Thus proving my point given the emergence of strict surveillance in the US (and more in the UK).
Do you think we're subject to more surveillance than
N Korea, Cuba, & the PRC?

PRC has cameras at every intersection and crosswalk and in various other places too
I'm not sure about Cuba.
But I keep seeing news items about increasing surveillance of all kinds including demands that cellphones and encryption have back doors.
The tech libertarian site techdirt has an endless stream of stories like this T-Mobile The Latest Snooping Company To Pretend 'Anonymized' Data Means Anything and FBI Director Uses January 6 Insurrection To, Once Again, Ask For Encryption Backdoors and everything connected with browser cookies such as How The Third Party Cookie Crumbles: Tracking And Privacy Online Get A Rethink
I'm glad that we have whistle blowers & news media
able to unearth government's attempts to watch &
control us.
Do you feel like cringing? And this web page illustrates that being cringe worthy can exist for all persuasions including "woke" and anti-woke.

But it's happening in Capitalist societies like the UK or USA.
The uk used to be the most surveilled country in the world but now comes 5th (i think) overtaken by China, US, Germany, Japan
Although London is still up there at 3rd most surveilled city
Do you believe it's to the same extent?

I wouldn't say the state is, but gaint tech companies like Facebook or Google, very much so.
As for America, we don't have social ratings like China, but there are informants and undercover agents planted in many Left and Right wing groups. The PATRIOT act pushed away many protections, We have Real ID. The TSA.
We have so much going on here and now that I just don't see the surveillance state as an inherent part of capitalism or communism. It happens in both.

Wow. I'm kind of surprised to see Germany high on that list, given the deadly efficiency in surveillance the Nazis had going on.
From a camera perspective, yes: https://www.securityinfowatch.com/v...59928/the-most-surveilled-cities-in-the-world
From another perspective including government getting data from internet and cellphone use, the picture is different according to: Surveillance State Online and Offline: The World’s Most Watched People
Now will one or two people who assumed something different change their minds?

I will because I had no idea we were number two and worse than UK.
At least private companies can't arrest us for impolitic speech.
