Frank Braun, a privacy extremist and a Paralelni Polis old-timer, explains the differences between the philosophies. “The cypherpunk movement is about using technology to provide more privacy and anonymise interactions; and anarchy pushes for personal freedom with minimal or no interference from the state. Cryptoanarchy simply brings those two together.”
This is fine up to 1996 - after that it limits our degrees of freedom. Cypherpunk revolutionaries fight for
cryptoanarchism where ' crypto' and ' anarchy' are increasingly seen as just ' anarchism ' in its latest
and greatest incarnation since 1936. Its not just technology now either - recent advances in physics and cosmology
strongly indicate a crypto-anarchist universe ( Wheeler - Lloyd - CK Rhodes ) and ' anarchy ' can't be read so
narrowly for us. After all, Bakunin said, " Freedom without anarchism is privilege and injustice "
We also don't accept the continued existence of any state ( or theocracy ) Frank Braun and his ilk might be
just talking about tax-dodgers playing silly word games devoid of meaning just to pass the time.
Perhaps like a ' Good soldier Sjek " only without the wit, charm, good-looks or intelligence.
Anyway, these rubber-cZech losers have been warned. GET OFF OUR FUCKING LAWN.
When you spend a long lifetime in relative isolation, neither understood nor permitted to be, love denied, pains unhealable (apparently), a world in hypocrisy no real truth, endless lies and deceptions, double standards and power abused... ... it is no wonder that some recede to very dark places. Blood bath - a lure for some - that inviting, attractive and "sane" exit in comparison to the life experienced, glee from the border 'tween sanity and evil lunacy. There -are- other experiences of life..
