I also think so. But, then again, there are people like Ben Arc, who is communist, but builds Bitcoin stuff.
What? He calls himself communist? Or others call him that?
reply
His Twitter bio literally says - "From each according to their ability, to each according to their needs" .
Also there was interview with him about topic by Peter McCormack - Bitcoin: A View From The Left with Ben Arc.

I've heard the interview. He's a left wing guy for sure. Maybe a Marxist? Honestly, I get along better with these types of folks than I do die hard Republican or Democrats. Thanks

I talked with him about the topic during BHB. He says that communism isn't bad, Stalinism is bad.
In any case I have big respect for him for all he is doing with Bitcoin (and now also Nostr).

Thanks, I've talked with folks with a similar view. Really can't wrap my head around why they aren't just anarchists but I've always enjoyed the discussion with folks like this. Mostly because I think we share a lot of common ground with my issues with corporatism/fascism. I have heterodox views and I find it fascinating to talk with someone else that does as well.
And I know the first anarchists where from the left. Rothbard didn't invent it :)

I think anarchism just has a bad rep
Funnily, far left is also anarchist territory, at least here in the EU :)
That's how the circles closes ...
I think it was @DarthCoin who explained that anarchism doesn't mean without rules, it just means without rulers.
That's when I started to like anarchism.

Oh, you mentioned that part already :)
