3.4. Beliefs, Goals, Agenda
3.4.1. "Is there a set of beliefs that most Cypherpunks support?"
+ There is nothing official (not much is), but there is an
emergent, coherent set of beliefs which most list members
seem to hold:
* that the government should not be able to snoop into our
affairs
* that protection of conversations and exchanges is a basic
right
* that these rights may need to be secured through
_technology_ rather than through law
* that the power of technology often creates new political
realities (hence the list mantra: "Cypherpunks write
code")
+ Range of Beliefs
- Many are libertarian, most support rights of privacy,
some are more radical in apppoach

@matthew Glad you liked the text! =) It's a classic! More people should read it, and to me, it is amazing how far ahead of their times they were.
