    Capitalism is about gaining all power (capital). Its end goal is complete surveillance. 2+2 = 4

      Yes, 2+2=4, but so does 1+3, 0+4, 1.5+2.5, etc.

      The problem of mass surveillance is coming from people who want control. The fact that they are capitalist this time is coincidental. It could just as easily be a theocratic government or an absolute monarchy that wants the level of control that mass surveillance can enable.
