Expecting Satoshi not to be libertarian is like expecting Karl Marx not to be socialist. Satoshi devoted his life to creating uncensorable money outside of government control!

>Karl Marx not to be socialist

He was not a socialist, he was a Marxist. It's like expecting that Windows and Linux are Operating-systems and by that completely the same.

On what basis are you making this claim? Karl Marx often called himself a socialist but he explicitly denied being a Marxist.
