Like an inverse Marxist, Tim May tended to believe that the inexorable 
expansion of private cryptography made the victory of crypto-anarchism 
inevitable. A new “balance of power between individuals and larger entities” 
was already emerging. He predicted with some confidence “the end of governments 
as we know them”. Another even more extreme cypherpunk of the libertarian 
Right, Jim Bell, like an inverse Leninist, thought that history might need a 
push. . .  ."

To launch attacks under favorable circumstances is not only every anarchist 
revolutionary’s right, but their plain duty. The killing of spies, policemen, 
commissars, the blowing up of police stations, the liberation of prisoners, the 
seizure of government funds for the needs of the uprising—such operations are 
already being carried out wherever insurrection is rife.
