If the left doesn't occupy those spaces, the Nazis do. The left only have themselves to blame for not seizing the means, and waiting for the corrupt to occupy and own all infrastructure.
These aren't spaces for the left.
Now we have a system with a more or less neutral state, giving out currency and collecting taxes.
There is work that needs to be done and money is an incentive system.
But some perverted the rules of our economy and make disproportionally much money from owning stuff.
They don't need a neutral state.
Competing cryptocurrencies are a hyper-excessive version of this. HODL what you own.
The left should work on a less competitive system.
And you are the pope of the left dictating leftie law from above?
Just out of your arse, juse becasue?
And by the way, we didn't inherit immense wealth.
We simply don't have the funds to buy the souls of the corrupt.
@vruz @molly0xfff "if the left doesn't commit crimes, the right will."
Um...
@vruz @molly0xfff ok this is probably a stupid idea but I’ll bite:
Why the fuck should the left give a single solitary shit about “occupying” crypto?
Gov, financial sector and corpo's be like:
Now it's a State-sponsored scam.
@molly0xfff next up, AI is going to solve world hunger and give the power back to the people!
It's a revolution!
They'll finally give us flying cars and fitted sheets that are easy to fold!
The constant failure of libertarian philosophy to acknowledge critical theory will never not be funny.
They will sell the revolution to you and that's so much easier when it was always about making money
@molly0xfff I'm a crypto cynic, but the AMEX one kind of sticks out IMO, given that one of the primary complaints about crypto is how godawfully slow it is.
With this offer you get the benefit of financial transactions handled at speed by a competent processor AND accrue BTC on the back end effortlessly*. I suspect this grift might have some legs.
*probably not effortless, but at least you're not mining
