“While many ideologies can fall under the banner of progressivism, both the current and historical movement are characterized by a critique of unregulated capitalism, desiring a more active democratic government to take a role in safeguarding human rights, bringing about cultural development, and being a check-and-balance on corporate monopolies.”
I do believe that Bitcoin stands to accomplish these goals but by giving society strong incentives to reshape towards these objectives organically WITHOUT the need for a Leviathan State.
Also, in the context of L/R Authoritarian quadrant politics, what liberals/progressives call “bad unregulated capitalism” and what conservatives call “good unregulated capitalism” is all actually just Corporatism / Socialism anyways.
All L/R Authoritarian politics are predicated on the Leviathan State. But if we can separate the goals of Conservatism and Progressivism from Statism, both are served by the advent of Bitcoin and the drivers for grand political conflict are rendered irrelevant. Hence is why I’d didn’t say “the most Republican, Democrat, Communist thing was can do is…” because all of these things existing only under the auspices of the Leviathan State.
