What’s the real difference between a nation-state and a network state with a permanent location? Like, wouldn’t it just end up being an “innovative” nation-state that uses last tech advancements and trying out new market, governance, taxation and redistribution mechanisms?
I get that network states might need less enforcement in some cases, but how would they enforce still important laws? Would it still come down to physical enforcement? And if so, does that mean they’d have a monopoly on violence, like a traditional state? Even if the law enforcement becomes private, we’re not changing much the primitives, and that would be necessary at least for stuff like boundaries and sovereignty, no?
And what happens when people have kids, do the kids automatically become citizens of the network state? What if they are poor? Will some rights be above everything?
Honestly I’m struggling not to think that a permanent location network state wouldn’t eventually just morph into a nation-state. 2 replies
