But nowadays you can't see any new topics anymore on these matters. I found a few (and very interesting) ones, which were written in 2020:

- Murray Rothbard Quotes on Libertarianism, Economics, and Freedom
- Ayn Rand Quotes on Capitalism, Government, Philosophy, and More
- Friedrich A. Hayek Quotes on Socialism, Economics, and More.

And I think that the lack of such topics / subjects is a loss, a loss not felt directly, but indirectly. This is because Bitcoin was built on libertarianism and crypto-anarchism. You can't have it wihtout these concepts.

well, some people make the bizarre claim that 20thC socialism as we know it and Bitcoin are genuine bedfellows. Perhaps one of these 'alt' flavors of anarchism might work in some fashion. not so interested in them, but as long as they mind their own business, it's neither here nor there to me if they try it out.

I lost interest in talking about the concepts; it is what it is, and arguing about it is to fall into re-creating the problems of politics, but with new labels for the groups. I did it myself really just now; I firmly state that entering into a discussion where divisions of libertarian doctrine are discussed is exactly what an opponent of libertarian ideas would like to see. It's not that hard to state the basics plainly, so arguing about the basics for any reason falls into the "don't care[\i] whether trolling or stupid" category
