Interesting that you know what I believe in. What I believe is though, that if one has totalitarian intention you would opt to support other things rather than taler. (Like payment via WeChat or Google Pay)

If you don't support prohibiting fully electronic cash and don't support mass surveillance, I don't see why you would support a surveillance payment system that could only gain market adoption by the government banning its more private alternatives.

As to your second point, one may be inclined toward socialism, and so prefer a more fully government controlled, less corporate friendly brand of totalitarian mass-surveillance.
