 This is a good start, "Peer to peer: from technology to politics to a new civilisation": https://www.itu.int/osg/spu/wsis-themes/contributions/others/pEERNewP2P.pdf
 
 Also, pretty much any book from David Graeber. Mark Fisher's Capitalist Realism is good, too. 
 Highly recommend this as a starting point. I will dig through some more references so those interested can read more about the fact that when they're building FOSS and open protocols, they're ultimately acting as everyday anarcho-communists, not anarcho-capitalists. The reality to keep in mind is that we're made up entirely of contradictions, so a clear dichotomy between what is or isn't communist does not really exist. Being comfortable with contradictions is a healthy step forward for moving away from the currently highly polarized environment we find ourselves in.

 Nooooo you cannot undermine my completely made up political philosophy with coherent arguments ***shrieks in Hoppe*** 
 lolol. 
 Nostr is the anarcho-communist protocol. It all makes sense now ;) BTW, great talk, really weird that it got censored. I guess HRF censorship board did not read any David Graeber stuff. 
 I think there is some crossover interest in Mark Fisher's essay Exiting the Vampire's Castle

Maybe Nina Power, (not sure if she still counts, some of the left also abandoned her, and she partly abandoned the left) 
 Does Nick Land's unfinished Bitcoin book count?? 🥲🥲
