Those with the control of raw materials, land and energy reserves will have what they want. The rest of us will be whoring to pay for some gunge for the replicator tank so we can get shoes for the kids. A bit like now really.

As long as I can print myself a crossbow, I'll be happy. I assume the wood and sinew are not a problem, I'll just put a block of wood and a pig into the printer.
This is nice technology but I wouldn't expect the revolution just yet, it's going to cost a lot and the metal printer probably uses quite a bit of electric energy as well, so if every household had one we'd have to turn all the lights of to be able to use them...
Unless we plan to put a NPP into every town.

I love the name "Defence Distributed". I wonder how long it takes before someone defends the crap out of some school kids with one of these?

Well, if you had mental capabilities well below any normal person, your answer to that would be "then we'll arm them teachers with dem paper guns hurr durr"...
I've been all giddy over the prospect of 3d-printing for the last 5 years or so. The possibilities are beyond counting. To then see it used like this.... I feel abused.

"Your" culture....?
Last I checked, roughly half of your population was in favour of stricter gun control. How did you manage to mentally spirit away 150 million people? Are they lesser Americans, or what?
If you want to call something "your culture", it would seem that "bitching, whining and generally disagreeing on the level of gun availability" is your culture.

Next: the US government, and states across the world, restrict the availability of 3D-printers.
Carry on.
It's sort of a feature of right leaning Americans that they see their culture (well usually the imaginary culture of 30 years before) as being the finished article. That human culture is not under constant change.
Actually it's all conservatives. That's why it's such a contradiction of being obsessed with the past, yet totally ahistorical.

Pure nonsense, but an A+ for your attempt at rewriting history.
What you say might be correct for rural areas - but the situation is mostly the same in rural areas over here as well. The US has been a shining star and example in both the development of international communism AND our modern social democracies with our welfare states. 30 years of your current neo-con wankathlon does not diminsh the contribution America has given in those fields.
And that, might I add, was a contribution from the american urban working class. The American masses.

Meh, a lot of those people went to the USA for economic reasons, real or perceived, and were encouraged by the US government to do so. For example I've read that in the late 19th century many impoverished Dutch people were deliberately lured to settle in Texas with images of a tropic paradise, with palm trees and whatnot. Imagine how dissapointed they must have been.
