public ledgers, open source, DAOs, CC0 are all far left coded ideals. curious how the more right leaning crypto space squares these bedrock concepts.

DAOs or user-owned networks are like cooperatives. Cooperatives can earn revenue. The distinction of capitalism’s versus socialism’s “revenue” is the profit incentive and who gets the profit. Especially because they also have the power over how the company is run (and in oligarchies, how the country is run) Don’t let anyone tell you that money, markets, or income has to be absent from leftist ideology; it’s a big tent. Leftist conception of these things, which as you mention is very much coded in line with the web3 we’re building, is about equitable distribution of surplus revenue and democratic control of the organizations. I don’t think people on the right understand the bogeyman they think they’re fighting. Red scare propaganda and garbage propaganda like “The Little Black Book of Communism” built a wall of bias that even Gorbachev couldn’t tear down.

Ask anyone who has actually lived in a communist country how great it is. :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Black_Book_of_Communism

Dan, seriously. Two of the books authors revoked their authorship and the numbers don’t add up. They’ve even admitted they made it up. Here’s a solid debunking with citations, but there are quite a few if you try at all to check your bias. It’s CIA dribble baby. Sorry to ruin your favourite book for you. https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/7n6ql2/is_the_black_book_of_communism_an_accurate_source/

69 $DEGEN for ratio'ing @dwr.eth's red scare garbage. And for not letting his conflation of "Communism" and "Leftism" carry water in this space. Major L, Dan. If you can't discuss without attempting to skew the narrative with tired, counterfactual rhetoric, just don't comment.
