is this like the USSR

Many things that were conceptually conceived in the 20th century didn't become viable until the 21st, such as OLED, VR and AR, raytracing, telesurgery, a whole slew of types of artificial organs, a gigantic amount of miscellaneous advancements in integrated circuit fabrication, alternative vehicle fuel such as methane, hydrogen and rechargeable batteries; maglev trains, innumerable safety improvements in aviation, mRNA vaccines and so on and so forth. I don't think it's fair to credit all that stuff to the 20th century, unless someone somewhere saying "be real cool if we could do that" counts as inventing something.

No, "overwritten" data doesn't actually get erased right away due to wear levelling. As SSDs get esoterically smart with how they prevent unnecessary erase operations, there's no way to be sure without secure erase.

The word "libertarian" here refers to anarcho-communism-adjacent movements, not neoliberal shills as strictly American political lingo may have you believe. It were the anarchists who first introduced the term "libertarian", and it were the neoliberals who appropriated it beyond recognition.
