RE: Steemit is an Anarchistic Model We Can Develop and Bring to the Real World
On Steemit, we can just leave if we don't like it. This is freedom. This is anarchistic. We can choose to not be part of it.
"If you don't like it, you can just leave." It's something people tell anarchists all the time. But this isn't ever really an option under statism. With a blockchain, that's how true value is obtained.
You can't leave the world where there is government everywhere, indeed. Were you objecting to that reality of Steemit and the virtual world? Read the context it was written in...? Real world not virtual world. You can't leave the real world problems, you are coerced. Virtual world, you join and leave freely, no coercion. this doesn't mean you can't stick around and try to change things...
I was not objecting to what you wrote. I was objecting to how statists try to justify their position with the quip "just leave." Juxtapose to blockchain technologies where this is a real option.
Ok, good hehe, I was thinking you could have been saying either way. As I understood "With a blockchain, that's how true value is obtained" to mean with the blockchain the value is in being able to leave or stay? So I got confused. Thanks.
