Having pondered the same questions myself, I have had the following thought, which may or may not be of interest to you.
If we think of the left as a solidarity orientation and the right as a individual sovereignty orientation, then …
“I would suggest that solidarity and sovereignty are two sides of the same coin – they mutually and dynamically ‘co-form’ and ‘in-form’ each other, and so co-evolve symbiotically. They constitute a ‘dialectical singularity’ which is brought into ‘harmony’ through mutual self-sovereignty (cf. Yin-Yang; i.e. black and white dynamically interacting with each other at the same time, without either diminishing in identity or the two combining to become a ‘middle’ grey). In this dynamic, both social cohesion and individual sovereignty are both ‘strong and fluid’, at the same time — a concept often referenced in Daoist philosophy using the metaphor of water. I believe it is this perpetual dynamic which leads to the anti-fragility of a human social system. I further believe, it leads to the perpetual emergence of one’s sense of self and one’s sense of identity.”
In this way, we can envisage cryptocurrencies – more broadly defined and with a mutual self-sovereignty orientation – as a transcendental force, taking us beyond both the political left-right divides – conventional and crypto – and our current monetary economy, to a post-monetary P2P sociopolitical economy.
