A pro-cash position is anti-corporate and anti-privatisation, because 'cashless' infrastructure is corporate and the digital money moved within it is privately issued by the banking sector.

Why then do I often seem to get more support from the far-right than the left? (1/9)

Is it because people who are suspicious of corporate power are increasingly being captured by far-right conspiracy narratives, while corporates coat themselves in a thin marketing veneer of left-liberalism, thereby enabling corporate power to be presented as 'leftist'? (2/9)

Is it because liberal-left-leaning urban professionals have bought into the progressive aesthetics of Big Tech and have internalised the culturally hegemonic ideology that corporate digital enclosure is 'progress'? (3/9)

Is it a result of the Stockholm Syndrome-like belief that a responsible citizen should submit themselves to the scrutiny of the corporate banking sector to prove to the government that they pay their tax? (while 'cashless' Big Finance-Tech do large-scale tax avoidance) (4/9)

Is it the result of lefties buying into the 'cash is for criminals' narrative, whilst losing sight of the fact that accusations of criminality are historically a way of demonising the most marginal members of society who are given refuge in informal economies (5/9)

Is it the influence of left-accelerationism, with its 'anti-luddite' position and the far-out belief that somehow once the capitalist corporates take over completely they'll be socialised to create an automated utopia? (6/9)

Is it the result of lack of understanding about the monetary system, and about the fact that it's a hybrid system with both public and private issuers, with cash in fact being the only form of public money we have access to? (7/9)

Is it because lefties, fearing to appear 'anti-progress', have swallowed the idea of cash being the 'horse-cart' of payments, holding people back, rather than seeing cash as the 'public bicycle of payments', maintaining diversity and a balance of power in the money system? (8/9)

I'm interested in your thoughts. What I do know, though, is that the failure of lefties to catch onto this is leading to a huge open goal, as the far-right swoops in to take advantage of the fact that the fusion of Big Tech & Big Finance is, rightfully, making many people anxious
