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.

BREAD Migration & Airdrop Event is TODAY in the cryptoleftists discord, come join!

Big news everyone!

The wait is over: BREAD is migrating to GnosisChain and we want to do it live together 🍞

Event Title - BREAD Migration & Airdrop

Event Type - Demo

When - Temp Check (Today / Wednesday @ 21h CET / 16h EST)

Description - It’s official! We will be deprecating the Polygon version of the BREAD Crowdstaking Application and moving the existing collateral to the Gnosis Chain version to airdrop all the BREAD. In order to facilitate the change, we will manually move all of the collateral currently in the Polygon smart contracts to Gnosis Chain and airdrop the new BREAD on the new chain. In this way we will keep all of the collateral currently staked and would reduce the complexity for users so that they all don’t need to manually bridge. In this temp check we will do the last steps for managing that change live in the discord: Initiate transactions with the approval of the Breadchain multisig for the transition:

  1. Turn off baking and burning functions of the Polygon smart contract
  2. Pull out all collateral and generated yield in DAI to the Breadchain Coop Multisig (0x6A148b997e6651237F2fCfc9E30330a6480519f0)
  3. Return DAI to all multisig wallets holding BREAD
  4. Bridge DAI to Gnosis
  5. Bake BREAD on Gnosis with the xDAI
  6. Airdrop new Gnosis BREAD based on current Polygon holders

Click here to join / RSVP for the event. Hope to see some of you there!

Demo for New Bread Crowdstaking Application on Gnosis Chain (Temp Check in the discord server)

Event Type - Demo

When - Temp Check (Wednesday @ 21h CET / 16h EST)

Description - In this event we're (Breadchain Cooperative) going to demo the new Bread Crowdstaking application on Gnosis Chain now that the new contract has been deployed. We'll show you how to mint the new official BREAD and how you can bridge your BREAD on Polygon to Gnosis Chain. The new app on Gnosis Chain can be found here: https://gnosisapp.breadchain.xyz/

If you want to participate and try baking some BREAD yourself, be sure to have some xDai in your wallet! Here's a faucet for xDai (very cheap tx fees): https://faucet.gnosischain.com/

You can also get it either through exchanges like Ramp or through Hop to bridge assets from other chains to Gnosis Chain.

Apps?

I was just trying to find a platform that's perfect for cryptocurrencies. Such as Robinhood, Crypto.com etc. That are left leaning or at least somewhat fare. Any suggestions, please and thank you.

How do you perceive Chris Dixon's new book, "Read Write Own"?

I've been reading Chris Dixon's new book "Read Write Own" lately, and I saw a critical book review by Molly White which, unlike many reviews that just parrot what Chris Dixon said, raised some fair criticisms. I think she made some valid points - this book will appeal to Chris Dixon fans but likely won't convince skeptics. I'm curious what others make of the book.

What Does On-ChainLeftist Self-Governance Look Like?

Having seen Balaji’s political views on Twitter, I definitely don’t think going the route of the Network State is a good idea. I’m cautious of anyone with an overtly anti-Left praxis, especially in these times. But what does leftist self-governance look like broken down into a smart contract? I’m a programmer and want to play around with building a Rust governance program on Solana, so I’m thinking in terms of structure and ownership of accounts
