found this great coming that sums you up the skepticism I used to have for anarchism that I now only have for so-called anarcho-capitalism

writing stuff about tech + decentralization

A doodler and computerer. I like permissive/permissionless open source, smart contracts, p2p systems, room-scale VR, and NixOS.

Same. Even within the left there’s a tremendous amount of misconceptions about communism and anarchism that do nothing to aid society but only to force us all towards the centre-right where most self-proclaimed “progressive” parties operate

For a long time, I didn't realize that originally anarchism was closely related to socialism (and mutualism).

Overall I think it is fairly aligned with decentralization values: being able to choose trust, rather than being forced to trust.

But not sufficient on its own, for sure.
