This idea is ripe, IMHO. I have noted that Hive had all the necessary mechanisms for voluntarist government to be conducted long ago. It has a means of proposing governmental programs, voting on them, and funding them, and forthrightly discussing them at all stages necessary to an HOA. It does not have means of providing security, however, and there are some features of Hive that would be unacceptable on the ground regarding governance, such as pure plutocracy, opinion flagging, and complete dependence on external internet infrastructure, for example.

However, I believe that decentralization of the means of production can make lack of coherent security irrelevant for folks willing to create the means of providing their own security. Along with a network of decentralized makers ability to provide mutually redundant security from gangs of armed thugs are the potential to produce many, if not all, of the blessings of civilization, from food, shelter, and power production, to electronics, communications, and medical services. As decentralized production technologies like aquaponics, 3D printing, solar (and other) power, inkjet printing (which is able to print electronics on PET, including solar, LEDs, and logic circuitry, drugs by assembling molecular subunits, and even living cells), AI (not AGI, or anything more than is available presently, which purged of it's crippling politicization, would be very useful in automating household production, financial assets, even medical diagnostics, and much more) continue to develop, the ability of communities to themselves produce all the blessings of civilization is becoming inescapable.

That holistic capacity will not come without deliberate management and development direction towards that goal, but I am confident that will very rapidly be undertaken, if it's not already by more rational and covert entities. I have researched 3D printing capacity potential to high end machines, and the limitations we associate with such production capacity are largely eliminated when the price of printers exceeds $100k, which is not unreasonable for the potential independence that can provide folks with requisite assets. Relativity Space is 3D printing space ships, and has it's first prototype on the pad today, working out the very difficult process of actually launching it.

One of the more difficult aspects of voluntarist governance that can enable a community to successfully adopt it is political. Pure plutocracy won't work. It's been tried, and is being tried IRL, and we see that rather than forthright cooperation necessary to just governance, plutocratic power politics is a nightmare of duplicity, fraud, and various degrees of parasitism and predation. On Hive we're very sheltered from the bulk of horrendous consequences, but it's difficult to grasp the pathological prosecution of plutocratic power that would absolutely follow Nero's model of acquisition of real property, blockade food to secure capitulation, or force our daughters into prostitution, but it doesn't take long to grasp that other values are more important to societies than mere money.

You are right that the first step to resolving all impediments to achieving rational voluntarist government is to realize it's possible, that we aren't trapped in increasingly deranged legacy political systems, and the incredible paradigm shift ongoing in every field of industry makes it necessary. Overlords hell bent on preserving their wealth and power absolutely will do everything possible to prevent decentralization of the means of production from eliminating their parasitic pipeline to our production.

Thanks!
