 People always talk about this non-authoritarian socialism... care to share an example?

The question was will socialism exist on a Bitcoin standard. You answered yes. 

If you're talking about utopian bottom-up socialism, ok then maybe. But that's also never existed at any meaningful scale. 

Top-down socialism - aka authoritarian socialism - necessarily requires coercive private property theft by the state. Bitcoin makes that untenable.
