Not sure what socialism has to do with getting multiple ticket systems to speak to each other. I sometimes worry HN is astroturfed but I tend to read comments like this more simply as trolling.

Yeh this has more to do with the failures of federation and has nothing to do with socialism.
Federation is a huge part of why Germany struggles to deliver on it's digitalization goals.
Having every podunk authority handling ticket issuance basically guarantees signing keys will eventually be stolen/misused. The lack of a robust revocation mechanism is the nail in the coffin though.

Nothing. Some people just wake up in the morning and have to interject their "socialism = bad" religion into at least one thread in order to feel they've done their evangelism for the day.
I grew up in a socialist country and anyone equates socialism with failure is 100% spot on.
People who think that living in socialism is in any way desirable simply don’t understand what socialism actually means.
The US provides plenty of anti-socialist fervor even without astroturfing.
We also get a bit of paid-for goading, just to keep it lively. But we do just fine without it.
