It is a push back to decentralisation, and I would say that it’s the outcome of capitalism, the fact that we have socialism in our political systems, it’s mainly to make the 99% be ok with being treated like slaves for the sake of capital. It’s has few to no connections with communist ideologies. Rather it has way more intersections with capitalism and it’s brute alter ego: fascism.

This is undeniable, and anyone who keeps saying that commie land is some sort of place where people starve to death, have some real big sized salami slice on their eyes!

I agree with what you are saying about the price control.

By nazism being the outcome of capitalism, is given by the fact that for example nazists we’re beating people in fabrics fighting for better work conditions! So, I see nazism and fascism a way for capitalism to protect itself from decentralising forces. The so called liberal centrists basically approved the politics of the fascists and Nazis, who were clearly against workers unions, while being as you just said, corporative. Also corporativism is something peculiar to fascism and nazism which is shared by the USA vision.

The USA leveraged 3 years of massacres, selling weapons to the old continent just like they are doing now with Ukraine. It’s a state which was funded on a genocide, so it is in the blood of the state itself: genocide. So for many years USA was able to provide a “free market”, but nonetheless, as soon as needed, price control and limitations on the markets have been put I place to preserve the system.

I think nazism and fascism are the shape of a capitalistic system, totalitarianism is the outcome when things become hard for the system as we can see clearly happening under our own eyes today!

Nazism is the outcome of capitalism and Stalinism is the outcome of socialism. But on the rest i can say I agree with you. Even though what you call free market so free it is not, is more like a state inducted capitalism.

And actually have you ever been to the countries you named and do you actually know their history?

Many of the things we are told are for the sake of the western empire to survive, so I would take those affirmations cautiously though

I think the USA just created a broader empire.

It’s the same as the nazi, done better. No need for concentration camps. People need to feel free. It’s a colonial empire in disguise.

Freedom? Fee market? What about weed? What about cocaine? The USA did the same shit you describe just on a longer time span!

Communism is an ideology and it has never been really accomplished in any country in the world.

There are many small reality who maybe reach that level but it’s for sure not a totalitarian system as you describe it. You are talking about Stalinist socialism, which is anyway again way more different from nazism. Nazism involves genetics , same as the USA type of “apartheid “ . The mcCarthism way. Make those who think different feel really shit. You just happen to be on the same side of the most, so you feel like the system is “quite nice” till now.

I personally am an anarchist, communist anarchist.

There has never been a communist country so you are talking about liberal capitalists and socialists.

Socialism and communism are not the same as you are arguing. That’s probably the biggest mistake you are doing.

Apart that I agree with the final conclusion, government (most of the governments we have in the western world are capitalists, so to say, leaning towards what you call the free market) and yet it is not doing that great.

But yeah I agree that government can only make it worst!

Which outcome? Stalin was a socialist in one country. And even Stalin was not as Hitler. First of all body count:

Germany 7M

Russia 20M

And this exactly to defeat nazism.

Second, the main goal of nazism was to eradicate socialism and ideal communism. The Jews were considered to be “communist”. And in fact so it was, as the first kibutz where “socialist” experiments.

Third Nazis would put anyone and mostly for religious reason in concentration camps, or for origins reasons, genetically reasons, Stalin mainly put Nazis or political oppositore in gulags.

Nazis concentration camps where industrial death machines , not the same one can say for for gulags.

The ideal: nazism is corporative state (see USA)

Communism shall be based on decentralised small entities (soviets).

Americans entered the war when they realised Hitler was going to be defeated by the communists, and they did so only to prevent communist rise in Europe.

So, how can to things which basically fight each other be the same?

And again, no country was actually ever communist as it would require all the world to live with the same commune goal.

Socialism is probably the thing you guy are trying to target.

I hear Americans saying that Biden is a communist, which is somewhat hilarious, I would define Biden a socialist imperialist, which is more ore less like calling him a Nazi.

USA achieved the incredible: being able to actually colonise plenty of countries without even calling it colonisation. They did so using internal forces like the mafia in Italy, who had their same goal: defeat communism. Practically speaking, how can someone pretend that the country which hate communism the most (USA) who basically imported all the “brightest” nazi minds with the excuse that if they wouldn’t, then the communists would have ( fvcking laughing stock), could ever write honest history book about their enemies??? Come on… American history books are written by those who won who clearly created a narrative which leads to empty assumptions like

nazism = communism

Right, but are we worried of pricing out in sats or fiat? If fees in sats are expected to go up indefinitely and prevent people from moving their stack, then what is the point of encouraging onboarding?

Or Americans, where the two groups often overlap..

I have nothing against Americans. Is just the the way you look at history is pretty, how to say, genocidal

That’s obviously not the legitimate comments I’m referring to. But yes, those are serious points of disinterest by potential users.

anti-communism = nazism

my partner thinks the same thing! but you have to be specific about what it is exactly, i.e. tool name, possibly brand name, exact purpose, etc.

They have seen better days but they should be good to go 😅

Sorry! Wish I was. I’m on a travel/event sabbatical until I get a handful of big projects to the finish line.

Rain check, we will have to grab a drink at the next one 👏🏻

I feel like this deserves a healthy... perhaps even heated debate... slay your heroes.

I challenge you to a sparring match!!!

The #Bitcoin  block size will eventually increase. Improvement in internet connectivity and hardware will result in increased efficiency for solving and validating blocks. As we know, technology is deflationary from a cost perspective.

Thus at that stage, increasing #Bitcoin  block size won’t increase hardware costs & hinder decentralisation as was the concern in The Blocksize Wars.

It just changes how the system is exploited, it doesn't actually solve the problem in its current form.
