Yesterday I gave you "demoktesis", which is an extreme form of a democracy where every person and all the rights of every person is owned by a corporation - a governmental body - and each person holds one share of stock entitled to one vote and one share of distributed profits. So that governmental body is a democratic tyranny where a majority can do anything to anyone at anytime. Ancient Athens was close to this.

Now suppose that some people in the territory of the demoktesis don't want to be part of it - for whatever reason ? Perhaps some Gen X-ers don't like its rules and procedures and want to withdrawal ? Can they form their own corporation and live on their own, perhaps in a community where Grateful Dead music is played all day long as the members toil on their jobs, growing weed ? "Can the [super] corporation ... allow another corporation to spring up in its midst. Can it tolerate the dangers of isolated nonstockheld individuals; in a word, ancorpy? ' "

"Ancorpy" is a $10,000 word not in the Oxford English Dictionary. If you google that word, you will simply find the source where I read it and where this quote was found, viz., the book, "Anarchy, State and Utopia" by Robert Nozick, page 290 top. From the context and likely entymology, it means "existence not of the body"

The aforementioned book is quite sophisticated and is a difficult read, but quite enlightening and valuable. Nozick shows how a minimal state can arise from anarchy using first principles and how utopiae can arise. I read this book and also read "Heavens on Earth", mentioned yesterday, which is a valuable book on actual uptopian experiments in 19th century America. Both really helped me understand how some aspects of socialism really can help increase the happiness of real people if applied with restaint and the freedom to withdraw or move away. They are not marxist theoretical propaganda.

By the way, the relationship of the American Indians to the government of the United States was, and still is, is an ancorpy to a great extent although some merging has occured, but other distinctions are still being created and explored.
