It's naïve in our system where problems are not solved as a group, but as a sum of individuals. If you don't trust someone to do something on your computer, then you also probably don't trust them to do much more outside; how can they be a part of the community if they aren't to be trusted ? We have abandoned all community-building to the state, and the state decides collective rules even though the state cannot manage a group this size with the best intents, especially considering the political-economic system we're in; it must assume everyone is problematic by default, and everyone's interest is at odds with the state interest.
Stallman talks about anarchy, a system that seems to have been in place there at the time; one of the central tenet of anarchism is conviviality and building a community together. Everyone who is part of the community is trusted. In this system, you don't need passwords.
