I am best described as a socialist. I believe if our species is to survive it will necessarily be without the planet-raping rat race of capitalism...

I came from the same political background and used to be a supporter of Bernie Sanders, until in early 2017 I read and understood the bitcoin white paper. The problem with socialism that had me in considerable inner turmoil for a while is that anything that is coerced becomes violent. If we want to rid the world of violence, then we must get rid of all forms of coercion (and extortion). This is why I now call myself a voluntarist. We need to make these systems "opt-in" rather than "opt-out".

What you are describing in the above quote is best described as "crony-capitalism" which is the same thing as capitalizing ones profits, but socializing ones losses to the masses. Andreas Antonopoulos very adeptly addresses the root problem with shadow governments, why Wikileaks is persona non-grata, etc, in this talk about banking and information cartels...

The future of governance will come through DApps and distributed systems through technical disintermediation and will have a flat P2P architecture instead of centralized hierarchy. We need to be rid of these old outmoded political labels because they cannot describe a correct solution to our problems. The solution is something completely new, never tried before, because all the others were tried and failed. It is fundamentally an architecture problem, and "voting harder" next time will never work.
