In this video, Niko Laamanen argues that the traditional nation‑state, with its compulsory taxation, debt‑driven financing, and implicit contract that makes citizens property of the state, can be replaced by a free‑market system of voluntary association. He proposes that individuals should choose among competing “cities” or service providers, entering into private contracts that function like subscriptions: you pay for the services you receive and can leave if the contract is broken. This model eliminates the certainty of “death and taxes,” replaces state‑imposed laws with mutually agreed private contracts, and frames community membership as a market choice rather than an inherited obligation.

  1. And this is the crucial difference for anything that— everything else is the same. But now we have the option to create something better, to really compete with the old nation state. It used to be the certainty death and taxes, right? And that is no longer the certainty. We have the original alternative, which is free market collaboration between free people. So we go back to private contracts instead of laws. You know, you break the contract, you're out of the city. As simple as that. Instead of being born and sort of underwriting this invisible contract that you are now property of the state and you get a slave number, and then somehow they have to get you into debt to be able to pay their own bills and expand further. Instead of that, you actually go to a city. You choose from the variety of different places that you might want to live in. That provide you the services, and then you pay for the service. So it's just like a service contract or a subscription.
