That seasteading thing will be an interesting experiment about micro self-ruling.

If people really intends it to live there (instead of just as an excuse for avoiding/reducing taxes elsewhere) it will probably show that most of the problems/fight will come from disagreements on local governance between its members than from any external entity.

I think just about any government system will work with a small amount of people that are there voluntarily and know what they're getting into. The key being the ease of leaving if you don't like it.
It certainly won't. Communism doesn't work, for example.

It works if everyone agrees to it.

Communes for example. Early Christianity was communist.
Everyone doesn't. That's why it can never work.

But communes exist today. Are you going to go tell them that they don't work?
Yes! Did I stutter or something?

It has to work on a national scale, or it doesn't ultimately matter. Except insofar as a loner in a hut on the top of a remote mountain matters.

Like I said, a small amount of people.
And I repeat my query: What's the vision?
