Part
6 - How can bitcoin ‘stop the betrayals of high finance’ if all
they do is create a bitcoin cabal?
I have
proven that block chain in governance already exists in socialism.
Many people have noted the way science and society have reflected
each other throughout human history, so this is more confirmation
that socialists like Cuba and China are firmly in the vanguard.
Block chain
exists in socialism, but not in the extremist-individual ideologies
of capitalism or libertarianism. It exists in anarchism, yes, but
bitcoin’s anti-statist “voluntarism” is so self-centered so as
to not be worthy of “anarchism”.
Therefore,
if the true Left doesn’t get immediately involved in the bitcoin
discussion and swing some minds towards socialism…I don’t see how
bitcoins will truly be different from oligarchical capitalism?
Yes, this
may be “gold rush fever”, but many talk of a market
capitalization of $1-$5 trillion dollars. That’s because this is
not just a corporation – a whole new industry is being created, so
it’s bigger than Amazon…plus Apple, plus Facebook, plus….
So, to the
early adopters poised to be filthy rich because your tech, gamer and
Dungeons and Dragons friends clued you in early on bitcoins and were
fortunate enough to have money to invest: You may not voluntarily
want to redistribute your bitcoin wealth…but society needs you to.
And if you
don’t, we deplorables in the 99% will win and take that
commodity/way to store value in the end, too, because redistribution
is collective justice, if not individual justice.
Bitcoin
users – will you be price gouging when the 21 million bitcoins are
completely mined? If so, why don’t we just stick with Visa, Western
Union and the Pentagon?
Are you
engaging in immoral bitcoin stock speculation, and “gaming” the
market to make a quick killing? Then how are you any morally superior
to all the other lazy, immoral high finance punks who make a living
at “the rich man’s gambling”?
And now to
the painfully few leftists, especially socialists/Marxists, who take
the time to cursorily examine Bitcoin and say: “Bah, this is
just pure capitalism. Therefore, it must be bad.”
Well, simply
revisit my story about Iran and medicines. A Third World Socialist
looks at bitcoins and says: “Yes, Bitcoin is capitalist from the
perspective of ivory tower ideology, but this has enormous potential
as a weapon for anti-imperialism and against rapacious capitalism.
And we need and want victory – not just change – now.”
Every dollar
in bitcoin is a dollar not in the hands of high finance!
It is in the
hands of the rapidly-expanding bitcoin collective, which has no
“Central Bank President”. Every dollar worth of bitcoin sent to
Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, Palestine – and Poland, the Philippines, and
South Korea – is a dollar which has circumvented the
imperialist/fascist centers of the US, England, France, Germany and
Japan. A bitcoin dollar avoids the big banks, the SWIFT system of
American financial power, the gangster credit card companies and the
central banks of the neo-imperial nations!
Governments
are claiming that bitcoin can be used to “fund terrorism”. First
of all, paper money is used to fund terrorism – should we ban that?
Secondly, this is an obvious smear campaign designed to scare away
the average person, and to provide justification for unjust
crackdowns on bitcoins.
