even if they keep acquiring more and more liberty minded people in the same area?
Then talk to FSP fanatics, and listen to how they scramble away from reality, who go from claiming the numbers don't matter (without providing proof) or go so far as to claim that the numbers will pick up, except they don't have any coherent explanation for how that's going to happen.
Notice how they constantly change the criteria for success to fit with the idea of the FSP, rather than change their opinion of the FSP based on their original criteria for success.
Then find something else to do with your life.
Thankfully my life and happiness aren't dependent on the success of liberty in NH or anywhere else. I have quite a bit to do with my life, FSP or no FSP.
However...
In terms of temporal success, does anyone have a better strategy than the FSP?
It's the best idea I've encountered so far.
There are plenty of places in the world that are freer than NH right now, and are considerably more likely to stay freer than NH was.
Its good to hear you don't think the FSP is the be all and end all, my comment about finding something else with your life was more directed at people who think anyone who doesn't join the FSP is either a coward or lazy.
Zug in Switzerland is one of the most appealing places for me, I've mentioned it a couple of times. Its got lower taxes than pretty much anywhere in Europe or America, its got legal prostitution, extremely lax drug laws (laxer than Holland), gun laws are pretty good (legal assault rifles), although it is fairly restrictive (liscenses) when it comes to things like concealed carry handguns. Though nowhere near as bad as the UK or mainland europe.
Low crime, high GDP per capita, nice scenery, multiple divergent cultures in a short space
I've heard good things about Costa Rica and some other south American countries.
I'm pretty sure theres some micronesian/pacific micronation countries that are fairly libertarian aswell.
In terms of actual long term permanent projects,
the Seastead institute are probably the best chance in a long line of failed ocean living projects.
Peter Thiel (paypal millionaire) is backing it and already donated $700,000, a bunch of other rich and smart people are involved, Patri Friedman (ex google engineer, grandson of Milton Friedman) is also heavily involved.
They've put out a
fairly comprehensive book on Seasteading which covers the technical minutia from dealing with barnacles, salinity in the air etc, from the grander stuff of how infrastructure can work, how the market might function aswell.
But "liberty in our lifetime" is a way lofty goal. Anyone claiming they can make you totally free within 50 years is either a hack or a crazy, and you should be extremely skeptical.
