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.
