RE: It was never about capitalism vs communism - it was always about centralized vs decentralized
"To win, just like with the printing press, we need decentralized resilience to the centralized use of force."
Funding and information distribution are critical to creating any type of meaningful and sustained challenge to existing power structures. Steemit delivers both with a bow on top.
Information distribution, definitely. But you don't necessarily need to beat them in funding in an apples-to-apples comparison. You can also get away with being much more cost-efficient, as entire industries are disrupted from time to time.
Agreed - the ability to feed the troops and secure wealth through a platform like Steemit/SD/SP is a game changer with the potential to cause a tectonic shift in the global power balance. No more relying on donations and hoping accounts don't get seized. Organizations like wikileaks or wearechange don't need to match the warchests of CNN or AP to compete - they just need to know they can make payroll and get their message heard without censorship.
