A lot of leftists actually like freedom tech like Bitcoin, they just get silenced by the Hoppean reactionaries in this space

Leftist is a very general term (which I don't like) that tries to cover many ideologies and makes it difficult to group them all, even more so when it comes to forms of anarchy... but it understands what you mean and it's true

People who are admittedly more well-read than me tend to focus on political means of emancipation. However, I think they have a huge blind spot when it comes to technological means, especially the ability to provide humanitarian lifelines and building coalitions that are rug-proof against ruling classes. I'd like to see 10,000 Rojavas bloom, and freedom tech can play a role in getting there.

Also, all of my favorite Marxists are anarchists and libertarian socialists, I think that authoritarian Marxism (Trotsky, Lenin, Mao, etc.) are all traps

lol and i thought he was being sarcastic and that it was by far the most leftist comment ever....
