I stayed there for a week in 2007 and yeah, I would say it's similar in the way that the media says one thing and the reality is another. I'd never say there is "no crime" because that's just unrealistic (in both cases), but the worst thing that could happen in the eye's of the authority's is people realizing that the authority isn't needed (or is minimally needed), so the propaganda keeps being pumped out. I won't get into another argument about this, but if anyone is interested in learning more about real life - albeit short lived - attempts at workers self organization/self management, I suggest reading Homage to Catalonia. George Orwell's experiences detailed in that book informed his later political stances. All you "get the government out of my life!" folks should be able to relate.
