love this, it's so fair and balanced, this is why i don't identify with most traditional leftist ideologies - just like capitalism "looks good on paper" but sucks hard in practice and late stage power dynamics, there's been significant failures in the implementation of socialist power structures that are too widespread to just ignore. marxist promises of equality and fairness are great but from what we've seen, even modern "success stories" like china and vietnam still struggle with rampant inequality and corruption, and wind up looking entirely too much like their capitalist counterparts. we need new power structures, we need new governance, we need new tools for coordination, blockchain is the only path forward

We need a fresh doctrine for the 21st century. I think it involves a combination of shock and awe (memes), secrecy (cryptography) and decentralisation (internet + blockchain)

Hahahha ok holy shit well thanks for the reality check. Hm maybe next step forward is experimenting with systems? I will continue to write out ideas to sharpen my thinking on this… at my university I’m trying to help setup a blockchain lab… I will keep working at this, maybe some micro systems can be tested, I am running a minecraft server and making a crypto plug-in for it atm. Maybe it would be a good test bed for socialist systems? 🤣
