The statement that “the mempool is collectivist propaganda” is categorically wrong. It imports a political frame into a system that is defined by rules, constraints, and validity.

No one is claiming a centralized, shared mempool exists in practice. Each node maintains a local, partial view. But that does not invalidate the existence of a well-defined global state space. The global mempool is the union of all local mempools at any given time t: the set of all valid, admissible transactions consistent with the current UTXO set and consensus rules.

Its definition is objective because membership is determined by validity, not local observation or politics. A transaction either satisfies the rules or it does not. The fact that no single node can observe the full set does not negate its existence, it reflects the limits of local perspective, not the absence of structure.

This is not a political construct. It is the unresolved state space of the ledger, the bounded domain of all permissible futures from which proof-of-work selects and commits one into history. Injecting politics into Bitcoin replaces objective reasoning with subjective framing.

The global mempool exists regardless of your politics.
