“There’s one thing you can say for totalitarianism: the coolest people will all be Outlaws [1].
They’ll import and export goods without government controls. They’ll provide free-market services. They’ll operate free communication networks. They’ll make unregulated products and sell them in unregulated ways. They’ll barter, use cash, use gold or silver, develop and use new forms of cryptocurrencies.
It’ll be just like Libertopia. Except, you know, with the ever-present threat of death or long, harsh imprisonment. But that’s what Outlaws are about.
Since totalitarianism is the direction we’re going, hey we might as well enjoy a few silver linings.” – Claire Wolfe [2]
