One of the Bitcoin chat groups I'm in is at least 50% or more communists or socialists. Its kinda weird being in there, and I don't understand their thought process, but they're there and they are real.
Communism and socialism are FUNDAMENTALLY INCOMPATIBLE because those political systems will not respect property rights of individuals.
Those systems will not work in a Bitcoinized world and will fail again and again until people finally give up trying TO GET STUFF FOR FREE.

I'm happy to hear that. Did you read this article?
reply
Yes, I read the article. However, the article is clearly written from the perspective of a twitter user. There is more to the world than twitter.

You don't think the principle applies generally? I thought that was the point you were making.

The principle applies generally, but that article is complaining about how English speaking twitter users who like Bitcoin are not the political philosophy of the author of that article and I thought the point you were making was "Yes but most people believe xyz"

Oh. No question his perspective is opposite mine as a libertarian, and he was whining about the prevalence of libertarian culture in bitcoin. What I really like is the fact that commie bitcoin fans actually exist.
