Detroit’s Anarcho-Progressive Homesteaded Community

Detroit’s Anarcho-Progressive Homesteaded Community

“They live off the grid for the most part, with only minimal services. They homestead abandoned buildings, applying their love and labor to make the structures functional and livable. They do accept donations to help them rebuild the abandoned structures. They also run a neighborhood bicycle collective and use vacant lots for urban farming. They appear to communicate that there has been no bureaucratic resistance to their homesteaded community. That is what makes Detroit so special right now – a lack of political officialdom in these areas of blight, allowing a spontaneous order to root and thrive.”

An Idiot’s Guide to Bitcoin: the man behind the book

Posted on by
“He explains, ‘Because I’m from Africa, I pay a lot of attention to what’s happening there. The developing world is absolutely poised to pioneer this revolution, if you want to call it that, because their national fiats are inflation-ridden, over-taxed and over-controlled; the places with the highest buy into bitcoin is the developing world. Then you have the western world, who are complacent, who are comfortable, who are kept that way and who don’t have an immediate, on the ground need for bitcoin, where the developing world do. If it can go viral in India then a sixth of the world’s population will accept bitcoin. That would be wonderful.'”

The Century of Arbitration and Peace

Posted on by
“All of this provides a real-world example of the possibility of adjudicating disputes in a private and contractual manner.  It does not take a huge leap of faith to conclude that a decentralized arbitration system could be extended to smaller and smaller segments of the population, ultimately leading to a private security environment.  If it can be done between states, why not between individuals (or private insurance / security companies) in a world without states as we currently use the term?  Why limit the possibilities by geographical boundaries – some form of panarchy, if you will?”

Nowhere Else But Detroit

Posted on by

“Andy Didorosi is the amazing twenty-something entrepreneur who took the risks and built a great market solution for out-of-the-dark-ages transportation for the city of Detroit. His most emblematic statement is his assertion that he ‘couldn’t have done this anywhere else in the world but Detroit.’ Not San Francisco, not Europe, not anywhere else. The two reasons that he states are (1) there’s no reason for this bus company to exist anywhere but Detroit, and, more importantly, (2) he ‘would have been priced out of the market completely anywhere else.’ – maneuvering through a massive regulatory web of political gatekeepers and powerful special interests.”

How to Fight the Modern State

Posted on by

“An inventory of all public buildings, and on the local level that is not that much — schools, fire, police station, courthouses, roads, and so forth — and then property shares or stock should be distributed to the local private property owners in accordance with the total lifetime amount of taxes — property taxes —that these people have paid. After all, it is theirs, they paid for these things …   Without local enforcement, by compliant local authorities, the will of the central government is not much more than hot air. Yet this local support and cooperation is precisely what needs to be missing.”

This is What Budget Cuts Have Done to Detroit … And It’s Freaking Awesome

Posted on by

“If our public servants are right, then chaos, anarchy and lawlessness should reign in Detroit now, right? Well, not exactly. Dale Brown and his organization, the Threat Management Center (TMC), have helped fill in the void left by the corrupt and incompetent city government. TMC now has a client base of about 1,000 private residences and over 500 businesses. Law enforcement isn’t the only ‘essential government service’ that the private sector is taking over. The Detroit Bus Company (DBC) is a private bus service that began last year and truly shows a stark contrast in how the market and government operates.”

It’s Up to You, Entrepreneurs: Brad Feld on the Rise of Global Startup Communities

Posted on by

“It’s a practically a social movement, and a movement needs a theorist. That’s Brad Feld. In his by-the-bootstraps guide, the 2012 book Startup Communities, Feld laid out a guru-ish, four-point plan for how to create a growing mass of startup companies. But his rules boil down to just one: entrepreneurs must be the ‘leaders.’  Everyone else—universities, governments, investors—are ‘feeders’ that, though important, can’t kick-start a startup community on their own. Feld says if even fewer than a dozen established entrepreneurs team up and get serious that nearly any city from Detroit to Cape Town can create a meaningful startup sector.”

Detroit’s Amazing Pop-Up Anarchy

Posted on by

“Detroit pop-ups are not your conventional, temporary businesses such as those unsightly suburban fireworks stores, or the usual Christmas or Halloween retailers. Instead, the city has attracted art galleries, food and beverage cafes, coffee shops, clothing boutiques, tea houses, vegan restaurants, yoga workshops, antique stores, bike stores, and mercantile-type retailers. Pop-ups are a temporary arrangement, often with a defined start and end time for business operations. Detroit is the perfect place for these temporary pop-up businesses.”

Meet The Man Behind Booming Black Market Drug Website Silk Road

Posted on by

“Anyone can download and run Tor, exchange some dollars or euros for the digital currency Bitcoin and go shopping on Silk Road for drugs that are vacuum-sealed and discreetly mailed via the U.S. Postal Service.  By one measure, Roberts’ eBay-like service was grossing $1.2 million a month in the first half of 2012. Since then the site has doubled its product listings, and revenue now hits an annual run-rate of $30 million to $45 million by FORBES’ estimate. One analysis found that Silk Road received around 60,000 visits a day, mostly users seeking to buy or sell drugs, along with other illicit items including unregulated cigarettes and forged documents.”
