There's this bullshit going around on reddit, propagandists from r/cryptoleftists are going around spreading disinformation and trying to get leftists involved in DAOs and cryptocurrency. It's so obviously a troll op yet I see so many actual leftists kinda falling for it. Thankfully nobody so far has fallen directly into it, most of them approach cautiously but the fact that anyone is falling for it at all when cryptocurrency is so obviously a tool of the far right just baffles me. Like, they literally use that shit for union busting.

    Monero can be legitimately useful for sending money without being traced though. Dark web marketplaces use it for a reason. The stuff peddled by cryptoleftists is indeed bullshit but I don't think all use of cryptocurrency should be ruled out completely.

      Yeah if they were referring to that sort of stuff I wouldn't have a problem with it. They're pushing Bitcoin, Ethereum and DAOs. Pretty obvious what their intents are.
