"This is a book review of part of Gil Duran’s “Network States and the Rise of Cryptocurrency to end democratic governments.”  Which is mainly about Peter Thiel, who has had the greatest effect, more even than Elon Musk, in his influence on U.S. right-wing libertarian radicalism,  including getting J D Vance appointed to the Vice Presidency.  And other Silicon billionaires who have joined with Thiel and his world views."

"As someone interested in how people and communities will thrive in the future as we return to the 15th century as fossil fuels decline, I was quite interested in how billionaires plan to survive.  This book discusses the Network States some of them are proposing. I also have 4 other posts on this topic under What to Do/Where to be or not be/Where the Rich are going. Peter Thiel, is very  Peak Oil aware and has spoken with leaders of The Oil Drum, Postcarbon and other groups and now has bunkers in New Zealand and Argentina."

"Network states are more like kingdoms than bunkers at least according to Balaji Srinivasan, former CTO of Coinbase, descriptions. At Network State conferences, the plan is for the gray “tech tribe” to partner with the Republican “red tribe” to form nation states that the “Blue tribe”, Democrats will not be welcome at. To put it mildly, since they are on the wrong side of the coming Second Civil War the gray & red tribes will wage against them. The new nation state will will have a corporate CEO (presumably the founding billionaire), backed by the police they bestow great wealth upon, and other security forces. The war will be fought over the internet, that they control, to restrict or publish their version of reality (of which they have very little as you will see below). This will not only crush democratic governments, but also universities, the media, and government institutions. Pretty much the same as the Project 2025 plan of the Heritage Foundation – who have spoken at some of their Network State conferences and gatherings."

"So, as far as Nation States goes, Peter Thiel now has bunkers in New Zealand and Argentina where he appears to be trying to set up a network state. According to The Guardian’s 2026 article “Apocalypse prep or pure pragmatism: what is behind Peter Thiel’s move to Argentina?”:"
