RE: The Left-Wing Case for Cryptocurrencies
Cryptos will essentially take away power from both bankers and politicians. Separation of state and money. After all, that is the whole point of decentralization!!
So it really doesn't matter if you are left or right wing in the long term. The whole two-party system, along with just about every current socioeconomic paradigm, will most likely cease to exist and/or adjust around these new monetary instruments.
Cryptos will give birth to entirely new governance/political systems that, under ideal scenarios, will be free of graft and corruption!
The left prays on the poor, unions, and corruption... why the hell would they possibly want a tamper-proof currency?
Exactly! Real leftists hate crypto currencies
We have Bernie Sanders using cryptocurrencies here. :-)
Doesn't make any sense, the left is about envy on the rich and successful, wealth confiscation, government oppression and protection of crony monopolies. Cryptocurrencies are about liberty, wealth protection and free market competition, the complete opposite. These kids are actually libertarians at heart, they just don't know it yet. They'll grow out of it once reality and life kicks in.
There is a big difference between socialist left (sweden) and communist left (Cuba).
Well, we even have Nazis, and nationalist bigots who lean towards Fascism using steem. So, :-)
Here's what a right winger thinks about Steemit:
Pretty much most of his posts always get downvoted. That's what he meant by getting censored. This is the guy https://steemit.com/@matrixdweller
The point I want to make is, everyone is free to use it regardless of ideology.
I think you need to both talk to a Swede about their mythical socialist utopia spread by the msm and read The Road to Serfdom by Friedrich Hayek. All socialists are on the road to communism, it's a process to get there, not a switch you turn on and off. How do you think Cuba started? This is not about left or right, it's about the government vs the individual and the family. The good thing about crypto is that it will defund governments.and allow individuals to protect (and escape with) their wealth. I very much like that anyone can express their thoughts here on Steemit, I just think it's a lot of hypocresy for the leftists because their are using uber capitalist and libertarian products: the internet, computers and crypto. They should really use soviet made vacum tube mainframes if they really wanted to remain "pure". Though in reality, most "leftists" here are libertarians who don't know it yet. They were brainwashed by loser teachers in a mediocre and corrupt education system that leans left. They think the left is cool until real life kicks in or a bullet hits them at the gulag shooting squads for idealistic youth that listen to rock music or grow their hair long or whatever it is their communist opportunistic comrades don't like
And what about Fascists using steemit to promote authoritarian government? Are they also libertarians who were brainwashed by ***?
People use what attracts them and what they think will benefit them. Why do you think the universal healthcare is such a popular idea? Because it appeals to people. It guarantees them benefit.
The average guy doesn't understand what is x y z ideology. He is attracted to what is in his best interests, sorry, what he thinks is in his best interests.
Fascists are Socialists too, they are for big government as well:
Shhh... Take your hateful, evil, intolerant logic away from here... ;)
You pretty much described the left in your comment @Shaw1... good job!
Very well said!
