Is anyone else annoyed that this asshole is the face of anarchists right now? As much as i hate this lolbertarian idiot, some of the projects hes been involved with have been admirable and align with my interest. i just wish more leftists were proactively involved in these kind of technologies to subvert government power.
Anyone know of any projects we could get involved in like 3d guns or bitcoin?
American "anarchism" has no room whatsoever for leftists. It's an entirely different phenomenon from traditional anarchism, founded by idiots that literally do not understand how politics and government work.
I don't give a fuck about the face of "right-anarchists" but any real (social) anarchist would disapprove him.

Our guy? I mean he wants to arm the people, that's awesome. But the lib shit in me says not just anyone should be able to have guns. And, yes 3d printers are still too expensive, but like any new technologies that's temporary. Point is you can't really blame the man. All anyone has to do to stop any blow back is regulate 3D printer sales. All in all he's done nothing wrong.
Never seen that face. Don't you think David Graeber and Noam Chomsky are more known as contemporary faces of anarchism, OP? 3D printers are good, Bitcoin is Ponzi speculation with digital mudpies.

Can it print guns?
Joseph Moore
What you think about him is not the point. Being the face of #ideology means being widely regarded as such.
Jonathan Lewis
He's really good at playing the media. That's the main thing to keep in mind.

You don't have to agree with him to benefit from his work or realize it's importance to leftism in general. He is literally creating a situation where any person at any time can get a gun. This is literally seizing the means of weapons production, even if it is totally bloodless. Figure that if 3d metal printing ever becomes a thing or if cnc mills come down in price, you could copy any gun you want so long as you got the steel for it.
pics related, the venerable 10/22 which is a good starting point for most gunsmiths (and the 10/44 which is the larger and more powerful version that uses .44 mag, the original 1950s versions of both are convertible to full auto). Imagine if everyone had a integrally suppressed full auto machinegun tucked in the trunk of their car or in the bottom of a suitcase, if not also on their belt.
Any 3d printer can: AR lowers can be fully made out of plastic although they need the actual components (trigger group, barrel, gas system, magazine) that plug into it. Cody's 3d gun is fully printable but requires a metal spring to work and a metal washer for weight/compliance with existing plastic gun laws.

It's hilarious how Ruger can't control people ripping off their second most popular gun. This is the future: firearm piracy.
Everybody here is missing the relevant question. When can you 3d print tanks?

What is it with hipster rags trying to sell fascism or some other ridiculously reactionary agenda? Like the art is an attempt to make their views palatable.

The REAL question is can you 3-D print underaged girls for your child sex slave army.
