Why do Trump and some of his most fervent tech billionaire backers want to take land and create privately-controlled zones?
Their dystopian visions reflect an ideological project called “The Network State,” which seeks to create private, corporate-controlled cities that operate as “startup nations”—places where democracy, regulations, and taxes won’t apply.
There was a sci-fi TV show called Continuum that showed an extreme version of a future like this. Companies became the government as they grew to be richer than countries and had their own private armies, laws, etc.
Anyone who has ever played Shadowrun is very aware of this concept, and these billionaire tech bros are jacking off to the thought of it.
Beyond just the obvious horrible pay, long hours, and inhumane working conditions that would sure to be the standard in these corporate sovereignties. It can be so much worse. Imagine never even being able to leave your job. Armed squads rounding up any escaped wageslaves and put back on the line at gunpoint. Call in sick? Guess again. Corporate mercs come and drag you out of bed back to the line.
Everyone below the ruling class is essentially a prisoner and a slave.
