Centralization of control is often useful, but it should be optional. That's what Bitcoin gets us. It's simplistic to say we're "back where we started".
Control by definition is centralized to those with power.
What you mean is the delegation of control by those in power should occur - e.g. Let people make their own choices for houses, clothes, food, land, family and work to make our economies more efficient.
I agree.
But don't ever think that control can ever be decentralized.
It can only be delegated and it can be revoked at any time (see the Internet).
I don't understand - what part of what I have said has anything to do with a) being a zealot or b) revolutionary.
My statements were firmly on the side of the status quo police/militarily enforced liberal/social/democratic/capitalist western societies, and are, in and of themselves, neither surprising, controversial nor patently false.
Power itself is decentralized. Even totalitarian regimes are often deposed. And even in the top, there's often a balance of power between multiple groups (see military coups).
There's no such thing as perfectly decentralized power or control, but it's certainly not centralized either.
