Reading back over my collection of cypherpunk list mail from 1994, I came across this in a message from Tim May: "(I don't often dwell on [the benefits of crypto-anarchy] on this list, partly because I already have in the past, and in the "Crypto-Anarchist Manifesto" and other rants at the soda.berkeley.edu archive site, and partly because the Cypherpunks list is somewhat apolitical...apolitical in the sense that we have libertarians, anarcho-syndicalists, anarcho-capitalists, Neo-Pagans, Christian Fundamentalists, and maybe even a few unreconstructed Communists on the List, and espousing some particular set of beliefs is discouraged by common agreement.) Ah, how things have changed.
