> Philosophy eventually translates into reality.

If a man is both honest and thoughtful, sure. But you confuse the professed ideology of someone that only cares about power with actual philosophy.

> The Church saw early on and condemned it for that reason.

It is probably worth noting that any organization is likely to condemn a thing that promises to end its grip on whatever power it has.

But if we take it at face value, the same organization condemned the printing press. Their endorsement isn't particularly meaningful from my perspective.

> To reduce it to a mere changing of shirts because they may both be authoritarian is disingenuous at best.

I don't have a lot of patience for being called a liar today.
