It is a direct critique of socialist thinking and actually has a lot of substance if you can grasp what it means.
Capitalism initiates the process of civilisation, socialism works the other way around, i.e. towards primitive life outside of civilization. The only sound argument one can make against capitalism is not an argument, it is making monkey noises and throwing your own shit at capitalists. What this means is that you cannot criticise capitalism without using its tools.
However, your personal hatred of Saif bears no significance towards the validity and utility of his ideas. The fact remains that he has greatly advanced and connected Austrian ideas with Bitcoin and offered a great analysis of money and time preference. Sure he is biased and at times “toxic” like everyone else including you, but this is certainly no reason not to appreciate his work.
