Part
4 - With socialism, Bitcoin can be a semi-capitalist tool against
capitalism
To me and
many others, the political beauty of block chain is the
decentralization of power. This means, in turn, the empowerment of
the individual, which, I note, is the goal of communism/socialism.
Empowerment of the individual, and creating a society where
individuals can reach their full potential, is perhaps the
fundamental tenet of Marxism. The mainstream media certainly has
misled people for decades on that….
What I wish
every wayward libertarian bitcoiner would realize is this: The
philosophy of block chain is already being applied politically in
modern socialist countries!
This
excellent article on Cuba’s 2030 Plan for social and economic
policy shows how the 2030 Plan is, “the most studied, discussed
and re-discussed documents in the history of the Revolution,”
per Raul Castro.
In 2007
Cuba’s government created “Great Debate” forums to discuss
their common future and so people could propose solutions. That
produced the Guidelines, which were made public for 6 months. Nine of
11 million people participated in the ensuing debates, and 68% of the
guidelines were amended. The redraft went to their (far, far more
representative) National Assembly.
This is
block chain – open, communal, consensus, decentralized – in
democratic governance!
China is
very similar – they spend prolifically on surveys and public
opinion polls because their democracy is driven by data. This
excellent article details their communal, responsive, finely-tuned
system for formulating and slowly implementing government policies in
another example of “block chain governance”.
And the
results for China are undeniable: Popular support for government
policies, voter participation rates, trust & satisfaction rates
with the government, the belief that the government is run for the
people’s benefit instead of special interests: these rates are all
staggeringly higher in China than in Western nations because reams of
popular data support the legislation implemented by the government.
Do we not
realize that bitcoiners also have been duped by TINA -There Is No
Alternative – just like the average person?
Leftists
must explain to early bitcoin adopters – who are guiding the
development of bitcoin, who could be filthy rich, who are open to new
ideas, who could help design systems to help money flow to embargoed
countries – that the problem is not “all governments”, it is
“Western, capitalist governments”.
“Public
opinion is our guideline for action,” was said by Mao; Macron
just ignored public opinion to ram through a 2nd rollback to the
labor code to change France to a part-time, high-poverty,
high-inequality, high instability, artificially-low unemployment
rate, US-emulating economy. Again, bitcoiners, it is YOUR government,
not ALL governments.
But, in a
shock to no one who reads my articles, the West’s fake-leftists
have no idea what the heck is going on about most anything, including
bitcoins and the block chain revolution.
