Ironic that Libertarians are banning things in their own subreddit.

Not at all, there's no such thing as a right wing libertarian. Just liberals who think their girlfriends shouldn't need carseats.

My ideals are left lib, and I hope that social structure becomes feasible beyond small populations in the future. That said, leftism is centralized economics. And if you centralize that, you wind up with authoritarianism.

I hope trustless and decentralized protocols make up for the inefficiencies in the long run, we're just starting to see technology catch up to make up for the inefficiencies of decentralized economics

Are you sure about that? </john cena>

You should tell that to the Democratic Socialists, or the Social Democrats, or Marxists, or actual Libertarians, or anarchists, or communists. Literally I think the only group on the left. That is significantly centrally organized are Marxist Leninist. Every group on the right however depends on a central authority to make their economy fesable.

Either this is projection, or you don't know what left is. Which if you are a fellow American is absolutely understandable. They did a lot to dumb us down and make us afraid to look to any groups that weren't capitalist or fascist. To help us meet our needs. That red scare shit is still prevalent to this day. Though the Marxist Leninist did hand them the talking point on a platter post world war II. The rest of the left just got smeared with it unduly.
