This is random but have any of the network state people written or talked about some of the modern non-state actors that have acquired significant military capabilities Examples include: - Ansar Allah (Houthi) - Hezbollah - various Kurdish factions (YPG) - Wagner & other Russian PMC that went rogue Feels relevant

Interesting take, if you have a military you are (depending on definition) a state. You have monopoly on violence. But you don’t have citizens that you can tax :(

Typically these groups are referred to as “violent, nonstate actors” What’s interesting to me is all of these groups have made their non recognition by other states in the region/world effectively irrelevant by acquiring capacity to harm. Usually through tech - advanced ballistic missiles being a big one
