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.

The people literally own the tool of production (tokens of blockchains, protocols etc)

I see you respond with economic equality multiple times, fwiw leftist collectivism is more focused around shared ownership and exposure to unbounded upside (via equity), not on everyone having the same compensation or the same amount of wealth.

Most leftist models are compatible with varying compensation/wealth. It can be confusing because those things sound related, but there is important nuance.
