Cool. It's better in minor ways (the people are no longer slaves, no longer subject to death-by-whim, and no longer living without any personal autonomy whatsoever), but in the important things, it's not so clear. Their shavers and refrigerators aren't as reliable.
Please keep in mind that the car-bombers are the old plastic-shredder guys, and their new friends. I think we've, at least, hampered their efficiency.
