I think "socialism" tends to be a red herring. Very much misunderstood. People might think it's inconsistent for me to be invested in BTC and to be anti-capitalist -- and it's sort of true. I just can't afford to be an ideological purist at this point in my life, for the sake of my family or myself. I just think the ideal is a society where people don't have power over one another. That means a conception of property that favors possession, use and occupancy over absentee accumulation. And "anarcho"-capitalists can harp on government all they want, but in my eyes, a private state is no better than a public one. When a landowner (and cumulatively, landowners) can draw lines on a map, declare their own laws and enforce them with violence, that's statism in my eyes.
