    I'm giving examples of things that are currently happening on blockchain which you can't practically do any other way, what the parent comment asked for, not saying these are good things we definitely should do.

      thank you for earnestly and knowledgeably replying to the question i posed. what i assumed implicit in the question and your answer is that any reply given would be for things that are good and should be advocated for. apologies for the snark and misunderstanding

        Unfortunately most of the really good stuff isn't happening, I admit that the majority of people interested in participating in crypto are... not friendly to socialism, but as OP shows it's not 100%, and I can tell you from interacting with the community there is a lot of ideological diversity on the margins and even among the top influencers. The good stuff as I see it would be having a borderless communist economy in which all powerful institutions are under public or worker control, with automatic and continuous redistribution of wealth, and which cannot be easily couped from within or destroyed from without. I don't see an obvious way to get there at a scale that matters, you need a lot of people to participate, but I also don't see any reasons why growing such a thing would be impossible, and putting it on the blockchain has the advantage of giving it protection from hostile actors while it's still in early stages and unable to defend itself with military force.
