when #Bitcoin#cryptocurrency promoters right now talk about the "freedom to transact," they are expressing the single core "political science" version of #fascism: free markets uber alles newrepublic.com/article/165559β¦
historically, #fascism deceptively uses economic liberalism (ie unregulated free markets) as a replacement for & rebuke of political liberalism (ie democracy).
it opposes any encroachment of the latter on the terrain of the former--ie anywhere.
