I've heard the interview. He's a left wing guy for sure. Maybe a Marxist? Honestly, I get along better with these types of folks than I do die hard Republican or Democrats. Thanks

I talked with him about the topic during BHB. He says that communism isn't bad, Stalinism is bad.

In any case I have big respect for him for all he is doing with Bitcoin (and now also Nostr).

Thanks, I've talked with folks with a similar view. Really can't wrap my head around why they aren't just anarchists but I've always enjoyed the discussion with folks like this. Mostly because I think we share a lot of common ground with my issues with corporatism/fascism. I have heterodox views and I find it fascinating to talk with someone else that does as well.

And I know the first anarchists where from the left. Rothbard didn't invent it :)

I think anarchism just has a bad rep

Funnily, far left is also anarchist territory, at least here in the EU :)

That's how the circles closes ...

I think it was @DarthCoin who explained that anarchism doesn't mean without rules, it just means without rulers.

That's when I started to like anarchism.

edit:

Oh, you mentioned that part already :)
