It is neither a sentiment nor unrealistic. It’s a simple fact, there is no such thing as economic freedom when there is a central bank. Period. They are axiomatically opposed. How anyone feels about it is meaningless.
Armchair communists (which are the only kind presumably given that anyone that has lived through it seems to have nothing but bad things to say) don't realise that we don't have free market capitalism as long as central banks exist. It's more like comminism with extra steps. They don't realise that they are attacking a system that more closely resembles the very thing that they are advocating for.
I’m not advocating for a central bank. I’m just saying they aren’t going any for the foreseeable future.
