Normally people would associate socialism with the opposite of what you say in your meme. Since in theory its supposed to distribute wealth.

In Reality it tends to concentrate wealth and power.

I have no problem with some of the objectives of socialism and would probably be happy living in an anarcho-collectivist community. This would probably work fine as long as the Non-Aggression principle was followed and the community charter had easy ways for people to leave if necessary.

The real question is how should your ideals of socialism enforced? Are the unborn forced into a social contract? Does dissent and non-conformity lead to kidnapping , torture, and possibly rape and death with your proposed social framework?

P.s....I am still shocked how any person(not you) who either supports either a RBE, communism or anarcho-communism can be into Bitcoin. It is pretty clear from the design of Bitcoin that the tokens are a form of money- Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System

It is very odd that those who wish to abolish currency, capitalism, and wages support a system that is designed as a pure form of capitalism that makes their goals very difficult to achieve by design. I can envision various POS/POSV/POR crypto-currency variations that could support their philosophies but Bitcoin by design undermines them and their politics.
