That's what happens when you only look at Stripe. smh.

Pretty sure every major financial institution is buying crypto because it's obviously superior to the dying and corrupt printer and fax system.

You're describing authoritarianism which is inherently right-wing. Both Hitler and Stalin were anti-democratic right-wingers.

The left-wing has always been anti-authoritarian.

A better comparison would be like Hitler versus Emma Goldman.

This is an ahistorical and backwards analogy. Historically the left/right political divide goes back to the French revolution where the rights side of their parliament supported the monarchy and the left opposed. From this perspective AI would seem more centralized, authoritarian, and right-wing, while open networks are more democratic, distributed, and left-wing.
