"... we will only abandon our territories that have been liberated from the yoke of the market in order to create others."

Raoul Vaneigem

This quote reminds me very much of Hakim Bey's writing about the "Temporary Autonomous Zone":

Now that I think about it, the opening section about "pirate utopias" reminds me very much of what some of us have been trying to do with the verse.

@clacke you can leave *a* state. But only if you get permission from another state to enter their territory. That's not voluntary association, even in a narrow technical sense. You don't have any choice about whether to be governed by a state or not (unless you're a long way out to sea I guess), although there are #PirateUtopias (to quote #HakimBey) where the ability of the state to enforce its governance is much lower than the average (see #DavidGraeber's ethnographies of Madagascar).
