Also one more thought:
I think there is a lot to learn from some of the old school communist writers like Gramsci, the punk scene, and other historical counter-cultures. You don't have to agree with their underlying belief systems or even what they did to get some utility from their mode of analysis. Revolutionary discourse in Bitcoin is a lot closer to these than any kind of Orthodox system (e.g. check the Cypherpunks, The Hacker Manifesto).
The pure capitalist utopia™, without waves of reflection, revolution, revision, is as the author describes: A shitty same-sameness to everything, big tech, control, surveillance, and the narrowing of the revolutionary apparatus to the point of nothing.
