That was my main point. I just don't agree when I see blind positivism shilled without any constructive criticism. We see concepts like NAP, free markets and free association thrown around as "solutions" but really these are nothing but empty words—just to oppose something vague and generic like "the government"—as if those constituents that exist in government don't exist anywhere else.

I wrote the article after I saw Dan's interview with the Dollar Vigilante. TDV sounded like a car salesman shilling an-cap in a very superifical way and Dan didn't criticize his stanc but played along with it to promot Steemit. i did not like that. Ofcourse there are people who are sceptical about steemit. They see the same flaws as the ones they experience now under a goverment. I think most people would appreciate some honesty and that we are trying instead of claiming we have found true solutions.

it is the same as with being with a shitty health insurance plan and some other guy comes with the same plan but with a different name. You won't change the plan simply because you can't afford the hassle for basically getting the same deal that might even prove worse.
