    I would not say equally bad, citizens are at least theoretically able to influence their government in a democratic system; you have no hope of influencing the ESRB or MPAA or CCA

      Equal “badness” in the sense of commercial/oligarchy takeover or the authoritarian nanny state. Extremes where citizen input is token at best. Russia is technically a democracy, but no regular person there has a hope of changing the government or policy with a vote.
