Actually this fits in with my world view that capitalism and socialism are a bit like legos or cinder blocks, in order to construct a civilization you need to build both components on top of each other to produce optimal outcomes. That is not to say that capitalism and socialism are the same, or that they are compatible. They are most certainly not compatible. They are diametrically opposed in every way. In fact, society works best when they are separated into their purest forms. Left wing people doing left wing things, right wing people doing right wing things. We are like two tribes that have co-existed alongside each other pretty much since forever. In fact I believe the interaction between our tribes is the reason for humanity's dominance over the earth. This is our information technology as a species, I believe it was a logical consequence of being capable of complex communication.Perhaps this is dead wrong, but I'll just throw it out there anyway. I don't think a left wing person could have built something like SR. I just don't think their brains are wired in the correct configuration. I don't believe it's an accident that the people who built Bitcoin are strongly right wing economically. There are plenty of socialists that support Bitcoin, but I've never met one of them that understands how it works and much more importantly I don't believe they are capable of building such systems as these. I also think they are mistaken in their support of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, because making taxation impossible is not exactly compatible with most socialist ideals I think of. I am aware that some of them are issuing currencies like FreeCoin which have redistributive properties, but I believe they will fail dismally. I am willing to admit I could be completely wrong here, but right now that is my thought.
