Yes! So essentially, it's just a separate place to live, with their own set of rules.
After I read Mark's post, I did a bit of research and spoke to a friend who lives there. I think the concept sounds great - it's important to take a stand, but I think it also has many holes.
I came to the conclusion that it is very difficult to escape the banking system, and that one can be autonomous without being part of such a community.
Yes you would think that a crypto would be in circulation or some sort of trading tool.
I'm sure it is, but not to the extent one would expect in an anarchist community
Why do you think that it, it’s not hard to implement ?
Perhaps it is too easy to stick to what one knows? I have no idea. What are your thoughts?
I’m not sure. I would like a community like this would want to move away from the ties of an authoritarian control. By using the money the are kind of comforting. Maybe they use is for tourist but even then the could inverts their personal transactions in crypto.
Maybe the introduction of Steem will change all that :)
This is why in a macro sense economic>politics as money defines the policies and laws in place that enable a collective society to function. If you get a chance, look up The Valorian Society. They had published some interesting works based around individual sovereignty and wrote on the subject several decades ago. It is eerie how they envisioned, especially the book, Word Controlled Humans.
Thank you. I will check it out
