How can you have socialism without taxation?

LFG

Libertarians are socialists too

Goodness me, that was horrible to read from both sides.

Nostr + Delving Bitcoin + Mailing list + Bitcoin optech is more than adequate for keeping up with protocol-related stuff.

I'm gonna try not to open twitter links 😂

AMERICA IS THE FUCKING BEST

FUCK YEAH FREEDOM.

Just had chipotle for the first time, it's pretty good 😊

They don’t understand the things I say on nostr 🎶

Damn. That’s romantic 💯❤️‍🔥

+ Connecting with nature is good for the soul. Humans need to play or we get rather sad I think

You tell me 🙂

Monarchies – Many ancient civilizations, like Egypt and Babylon, were ruled by kings or emperors who held absolute power, often justified by divine right or heredity.

Oligarchies – In places like Sparta, a small group of elites controlled decision-making, often based on military prowess, wealth, or aristocracy.

Tribal Councils & Chiefdoms – In indigenous and early human societies, governance was often decentralized, with decisions made collectively by elders or a chief.

Theocratic Rule – Some societies, like early Mesopotamian city-states, were ruled by religious leaders or priest-kings, where laws were believed to be divinely ordained.

Imperial Bureaucracies – Empires like China and Persia developed large, hierarchical systems where administration was handled by appointed officials rather than citizen participation.

Direct Rule by Force – In some cases, leaders seized power through conquest or intimidation, rather than a structured political system.

What’s the model system we can look at as an example that actually functions at the scale of a country?

So before voting… there were monarchies?

There will still be these people running around looking to control other people. Removing voting doesn’t change that?

I substituted “psychopaths” for “masters” because you didn’t like “masters”

No I am asking: why wouldn’t there be psychopaths?

The psychopaths will still try to be psychopaths.

Had a boomer friend ask me about #bitcoin

had about a 15 minute conversation that ended with "yeah well money is all a scam anyway"

its shocking how willfully ignorant the vast majority of that generation is about the basics.

Damn saif just murdered shinobi on Twitter haha

The masters would still give it the college try, no?

Why is that?

At the same time, you’re also not powerless either.

So zero. Politics follow you.

You know she loves you if she sticks around after you lose your job.

This is the original “if you love it, give it away” measure of love. Is there more to it?

Of course. Different people. Different relationships. Even the children I would argue, since they’re at such different developmental stages
