Network States

product @seedclub. i host S-TIER @ X Spaces & i interview crypto builders @ web3galaxybrain.com.

They're really throwing that f word around pretty liberally

Interested in ZK, FHE, PUFs, hardware, system design, ai safety, and smart contact security.

prospera is practicing literal colonialism in suing honduras via ISDS, corporations directing the actions of a democratically elected government is pretty fascism shaped tbh

fair points, I think it more stems from the book laying out a common manifesto / there being a definite ‘network state’ brand

I would be interested in reading more about it. I'm not really a fan of prospera (or the network state described by the book), and don't know a whole lot about it other than that's where you could get the cavity preventing mouth bacteria.

My main issue with the flyer is that it's painting an image that all of these charter cities seem to be aligned to bring about a single fascist "network state" distributed around the globe to act as a single monolithic force along side current nation states. Which seems like a lot more coordination than appears to be happening

It's "fascism-shaped" (or "tech-zionism" as Balaji puts it), but is more akin to neo-feudalism than fascism.

Tbh we web3 people with pro-social values should be building bridges with the Anti-NS movements... But they're so fucking dumb and hostile that it doesn't seem possible.
