This subreddit is a place to discuss the intersection between blockchain and the radical Left. This is meant to be a space for leftists to explore the use of decentralized technologies like blockchain for praxis and maybe as well for crypto nerds who are interested in radical left (ie, anti-capitalist) politics.

Blockchain technology is more commonly associated with anarcho-capitalist and libertarian ideology, however in reality technology itself is politically neutral. It is the power structures that surround it that determine its political use. Ironically, the very things that people like about blockchain technology (ie, decentralization, transparency,bringing down current power and financial structures etc) can also be used for leftist political goals. This subreddit is a place where people can discuss the intersection between blockchain and leftist ideologies.

Book recommendations like 'Blockchain Radicals'?

Would like suggestions for books with a similar vibe to 'Blockchain Radicals' - which I really enjoyed.

Have been looking at this as a contender: The Heretic's Guide to Global Finance Hacking the Future of Money by Brett Scott

Up for anything that's broadly practical, proactive and anti-capitalist. Less interested in academic and historical texts.

Thanks!
