No. And I'm also not a capitalist. Both are 20th century ideologies.

(And they are words that have been stretched and abused to the point of meaninglessness: remember, in the 1990s, Microsoft called Linux "communist": https://www.theregister.com/2000/07/31/ms_ballmer_linux_is_communism/ )

I support freedom, global equality of opportunity, kindness and cooperation, human welfare and progress.

These are timeless principles. The question is how to use the tools we have available to achieve these values in the context of the 21st century. I've written at length about the kinds of mechanisms I personally support, but I definitely do not think that I am the only source of good ideas, I think figuring out the best approach is a shared project of both thinking and also increasingly real world experimentation.

It's interesting how Ethereum community contributes here.

Capitalism: effective but a lot of power ends up in private hands. You want to keep these people in check, especially if they control media (X, FB) or key software (Google).

Communism: not effective, but a lot of power (theoretically) ends up in the hands of the people. In practice leads to corruption, and it's hard to keep the state in check.

Ethereum decentralism: could be the best of two worlds. Power over key elements (finance, social networks, messaging) would be decentralized, so more in hands of the people than in capitalism. And we add transparency to keep everyone in check.
