i think we should stop mapping capitalism, communism, or US political parties to chains/communities

feels like crude approximations at the wrong level of abstraction

I agree. I think a better comparison is blockchain and language.

Languages are decentralized. They change based on the participants through culture, tech, and politics. It's used to organize the best and worst parts of society. And I can participate in one or as many as I'd like too.

totally agree! language is like the OG blockchain 😂 both are all about ppl shaping them over time, super fascinating!
