This whole thing reads like the Free State Project shit Libertarians were pooping into the punch bowl a decade ago.
"We'll all move to New Hampshire and turn it into the first Majority Libertarian State!" Supposedly a couple thousand people did actually pull the trigger, congealing in small rural townships like Grafton.
This is the so-called Free Town Project, a venture wherein a group of libertarian activists attempted to take over a tiny New Hampshire town, Grafton, and transform it into a haven for libertarian ideals—part social experiment, part beacon to the faithful, Galt’s Gulch meets the New Jerusalem. These people had found one another largely over the internet, posting manifestos and engaging in utopian daydreaming on online message boards. While their various platforms and bugbears were inevitably idiosyncratic, certain beliefs united them: that the radical freedom of markets and the marketplace of ideas was an unalloyed good; that “statism” in the form of government interference (above all, taxes) was irredeemably bad. Left alone, they believed, free individuals would thrive and self-regulate, thanks to the sheer force of “logic,” “reason,” and efficiency. For inspirations, they drew upon precedents from fiction (Ayn Rand loomed large) as well as from real life, most notably a series of micro-nation projects ventured in the Pacific and Caribbean during the 1970s and 1980s.
Let me tell you, it worked out really well and now this is definitely a model for social change nationwide.
I like how they propose to mobilise 200000 people and move them across the country....
Just to vote
