authoritarian leftist states will have no problem whatsoever to "disable" all the ledger mechanism that is into crypto.
how ? you really think that it is difficult to only allow specific applications to be carried over the net ?

That's not particularly realistic? if a State goes full China then we are all dead anyway, that's why you never go full China.
States do have control over the banking system and who you can trade with (see EU vs Russia)
It's not so easy to control what you do with a bitcoin. I've even seen people apparently just pass each other the password to a bitcoin wallet
whatever, I have no interest in convincing you about something
have a nice day
that's fine but you'll note that they struggle to take down ISIS's use of bitcoin, and that is with a trail of incriminating transactions to follow.
Worrying about some right winger's use of BTC to buy food? not so important I reckon
