 I grapple with this a fair bit.

Globally I see bitcoin as far more progressive than what ever we currently have. 

Nationally I think redistribution is important and hope this can be achieved on top of bitcoin in some way. Ie. Building roads that everyone can use, my favourite type or redistribution.

Then I seem to contradict myself and ask the question how do smaller states fair under this new standard? Do they become more vulnerable to exploitation and further behind? The only way the don't is with a global presence commited to act in these instances.

Then is redistribution not important at the global level too? How would this look? 
 Good points.

Not enough people in bitcoin like to talk about any sort of taxation, support, services, public goods, etc. we can have bitcoin and live in reality too. 

And also that’s why I like to say we need to throw out this system and establish a new one THEN we can maybe start to try to address some of these things? And bitcoin can be an effective tool, but some issues of power, greed, the human condition, mental illness, etc are different stories…

 Agreed the entire thing needs rebuilding.

During the collapse/exit event though it's hard to see wealthy nations/individual actors not getting out first and consolidating further. Creating an entire new class, the Bitcoin class and the others just pass around their change(sats - or fractions of sats). Maybe then everything else is so devalued in comparison to Bitcoin that the others class can start again on a fairer standard.
Shitttt
