The Rajneeshees, a progenitor for the Network State:
Social network
- formed a tight-knit community based on shared spiritual beliefs and practices
Moral innovation
- its founder blended Eastern mysticism with Western psychology and emphasized sexual liberation
National consciousness
- 'Sannyasins' developed a strong sense of shared identity, dressing in reds.
Founder
- the muthafuckin midnight rider, Bhagwan, and to a lesser extent, his veritable COO Sheela.
Collective Action
- amassing at its height 200,000 sannyasins developing their own self-sustaining communes, enacting collective political action.
Physical Territories
- Effectively invaded and usurpex Antelope, a town in Oregon. Big Muddy Ranch, later to be named Rajneeshpuram (pop. +10,000) and innumerable other communes globally from Japan to Portugal.
Cryptocurrency
- immaterial. In their infinite wisdom, the sannyasins first right of passage was to donate all worldy possessions to the collective and yield under their new command economy. 0 reply
