Why are there so many leftists within crypto? As Solana says in his bankless episode, crypto disintermediates and reduces the power of the state. I get why libertarians and rightists like crypto, but why leftists? Leftists should want state power to enact leftist policy goals if they care about leftist outcomes.

Much of the Left rejects of hierarchy — both that exists in nature and that it should be allowed in political arrangement. 

Crypto is based on a concept of decentralization that is idealistically non-hierarchical. You can see something like this in action in many early DAOs, including Nouns.

Genuine question, why is it plausible for the rejection of hierarchy?
