I'd argue the bitcoin space is full of Trotskyists (/s but not really?...........)
I appreciate it! I've argued this before here. You tend to get enormous pushback, because the vast majority of people only knows socialism as a Cold War scare word used for everything you don't like, or "anything a state does"; or some other complete lack of understanding what it actually is. Then any contemporary liberal gets labeled "socialist".
At the same time, actual real life socialists agree with bitcoiners on 80% of things, including on the shared absolute disgust for liberals. But it's been a tough, tough battle 😅
Under evolutionary game theory, where losing/winning a game impacts the ability to persist one’s strategy through time, many altruistic behaviors turn out to be good for the self.
I’m not for the use of state power to realize redistribution, nor for the imposition of involuntary capital flows from one’s own work.
Tranche Socialism isn’t utopian socialism, it’s an expression of pragmatic millennial humanism: the idea that we can, through our free activity, realize for some duration more life begetting systems of organization.
I’m for voluntary association, and I believe tranche socialism could lead to very strong social organizations that supply a kind of participation dependent social service for the long tail of life!
