And yet, the overlap between Marx and Nakamoto is not only significant but telling. Marx's theory of commodity fetishism and rejection (pace Aristotle) of the notion that any monetary network could conceivably have intrinsic value is - if not a foreshadowing of proof of work (he'd have preferred "proof of labour") - at least a harbinger of the very same. Bitcoiners are closer to the Marxians than they dare admit. And more importantly the reverse is also true.
It’s my hope that repressed people all over the world will one day soon be able to rally around Bitcoin, instead of Communism, to rise up, throw off their shackles, claim their rights, and defeat elderly corrupt dictators
Nakamoto >> Marx
Property rights >> Statism
True freedom >> Another dictator in different clothing
