The hedonistic lifestyle is difficult to achieve when you're still carrying your own gear. Trust me that you don't feel glamorous with a 60-pound amp in your arms it's a lot less sexy than toting a vodka gimlet and impossible to do in heels.
Can someone within that society walk into the town square and say what they want without fear of being punished for his or her views? If so then that society is a free society. If not it is a fear society.
