metonomy 

An organizational collective characterized by a dualistic syndicalism/anarcho-syndicalism structure.

Over time the dualistic antipattern structure becomes the basis for a cryptocurrency.

After even more time the cryptocurrency becomes a pure blockchain.

Anarcho-nihilism.

Metonomy is an instance of a workers' collective creating a blockchain by the very virtue of its verificationistic structure.

This is in contra-momentum to volitionistic Marxism.
