Right wing is not politicized. It reflects an ideological scale. If he had characterized it as Republican, then sure. But calling crypto right wing is pretty fair.
- throwawayswede 5y agoIn the US, saying right one is synonymous with republican, which is wrong, but again, that's the mainstream view.

- qeternity 5y agoI am American, living in the UK. I know what it means in the US. I also know what it means to the rest of the world. Like I said, right-wing in most of the world is used to describe ideologies, not to out specific political parties.
- SyzygistSix 5y agoI agree but it is the anti-authoritarian potential for crypto that has always made me curious. In that regard figuring out crypto is like every other idea that needs to be vetted to insure it is not an authoritarian measure being marketed as anti-authoritarian. Crypto seems to have the potential to avoid being subject to state power. Does it have the same potential to avoid corporate power or surveillance though? That is the question I have found myself trying to sort out.
