    Probably part of the right wing that’s been working on coopting it for decades now. You should see the incredibly rich crypto psychos that call themselves anarchists.

    The way I see the far-right attempt to coopt anarchism is the same as the name of “socialism” being coopted in germany in the 30s. They recognised its growing popularity and seek to ride confusion about that while disassociating themselves with the instant rejection being openly fascist gets them.

      This is a fair point. But the right co-opting anarchism does not mean anarchism isn’t far left.

      Just like how nazi’s co-opting socialism doesn’t make socialism into nazism. Anarchy has ideology that directly critizes money, capitalism, the state and hierarchical systems.

      If people are calling themselves anarchist and then using that ideology to promote crypto-currencies. They are the ones doing it wrong.
