so, as far as I can glean, the proposal is to divide the state into a network of democratic cooperatives engaged in free-market competition. not sure why the author thinks this is a novel idea / feels the need to tie it to Moldbug. Edginess points, I guess?

Heck, that's arguably *Nozick's* schtick in Anarchy, State & Utopia.

Uh, because in a society of networked democratic cooperatives engaged in free market competition, the end result is NOT a society of networked democratic cooperatives engaged in free market competition. /u/Marxist_Vargism, what do you think of capitonationalism?

He's following in the proud anarchist tradition of endlessly recreating capitalism with minor cosmetic differences and calling it a new ideology

User RiverC comments on Nick Land’s blog Outside in, that “Neo-cameralism is, if viewed in this light, a ‘political system system’, it is not a political system but a system for implementing political systems.”

Wait until they discover the prefix “meta-”, it’ll blow their minds
