LOL.. couldn't put it any better than this. On a serious note, I would have never expected socialists to appear here in Bitcointalk, but I guess times are changing.

Why not?
Most of the socialists are not set on constructing a better system, on equality, or anything else, most of them want just a wealth redistribution, to get free money from the ones that have, if that is not possible all they do is praying and dreaming of ways to bring down this system which is not grating them free money.
In their naive eyes BTC can help destroy banks, can help destroy the current order, and maybe once this is done with there is hope for their own twisted society.

It's something common I've seen in multiple people that claim to be socialist, they are looking at BTC, not as a tool with which they can achieve their utopia but rather a tool of destruction, it's one of the standard ways of thinking for them, the first priority is the wealth of others.

Is Josef Stalin a real socialist? He just killed 60 million.. not up to the mark. What about Mao Zedong? 40 million deaths is a bit lower than what I would have expected? Pol Pot? Just 2 million murders? No.. with that small number he can't be a real socialist. Perhaps Kim Jong Un? He is still there, and may be able to beat the record of Stalin..

In their defense, most of them were dictators before being socialist/communist no such massacres have happened in non-totalitarian regimes, but, well, too much politics in this for the economics section, no idea sincerely why we're even discussing it here. I think the focus should be more on if and how the average Venezuelan is changing his habits and his way of life because of Bitcoin, but I doubt there is a serious impact, as I said before, in order to use money you need money, and that's what the average citizen there lacks.
