Che was a Marxist revolutionary.  Please don't associate Bitcoin with Marxism.  We are anti-Statism.



Probably lots of reasons not to associate Bitcoin with Che Guevara, but anti-statism isn't a good one. Marxism's eventual goal is Communism, which its proponents see as a classless, stateless society.


They said that the society will be stateless because nothing will exist outside the state, so we can't speak about the state as a separate entity.

I guess it is not what most bitcoiners want.

LMGTFY -- agree. They don't say "nothing will exist outside the state." Not at all. The idea is that once we live in a classless society, the state will have no utility, and no reason to exist. In other words, they want the same ends that anarchists do. Now, whether practice follows from theory is another question.
