He doesn't have a vision.
I've read many of his blogs and respectfully disagree with you. He clearly has a vision. Calling his vision a dream or him a dreamer is a matter of opinion.
You and I must be using the word "force" differently. "Soviet style collectivism" actually did use force (guns, assassinations, etc). There is no force here. It's all based on voluntary participation. I don't think extreme comparisons are helpful.
I have read every his articles and as I read his article more, I become more doubted about his economic understanding and vision. seriously.I concluded that he doesn't have a vision or has a wrong one because of lack of understanding about economics. again ,He does not understand economics, does not understand business. He was just a naive dreamer. good at writing C++ but again, that all.
yes it is forced by code not by gun, so somewhat different.
Steem can make it without one C++ coder.
