What kind of society are you interested in living in?

Personally, I would prefer an anarchistic society with a vast number of different social and "political" (Whatever that means in anarchy) arraignments., I would prefer a Market Anarchist/Agorist setup (As an anarchist I would be fine with others forming different arraignments) that encourages vast amounts of trade and cooperation between more specialized seasteads. Also, I would encourage seasteaders to make themselves useful to others on land by participating in the "land market" by providing goods and services to the land. This could be done by buying oil rigs, providing passing ships with fuel and or defense, and the transportation and or protection of special individuals (Political prisoners perhaps if the capability to defend oneself legally or physically is acquired, such as the protection of the US government. ) To provide vacationing spots, education (For the more inland regions) also, certain seasteads could be made into oceangoing airports, which planes could call in to be at a specific location to give the plane a place to land on sea. The standard manufacturing and farming would be also good things to do. A seastead could also serve as a good research platform, since one can stay indefinably, due to the self-sufficiency of the seastead., Seasteads will most likely begin being protected by their respective governments, although this is unfortunate. This of course, will most likely protect us from other states, who would face legal issues from crossing a states border. However, piracy is still a problem. Not that in the later stages seasteads couldn't participate, but that unless they are armed, a seastead would have a difficult time defending itself, especially if it was outnumbered. The solution involves the nature of the seasteading culture. It is unlikely that all individuals will be able to provide themselves with basic necessities on their own. a class of "Migrant Workers" will develop. They will travel from seastead to seastead, providing whatever services are needed or wanted. Defense will also be among these needs. Since seasteads will be able to manufacture, the production of mounted weapons and weapons in general is possible, this will also be even more likely if a profitable means of undersea mining is developed. These migrant workers might develop into a specialized "Warrior" class that constantly protects seasteads from attack. This might even develop to the point where an outright secession from all governments is possible., In the secession, seasteades will resort to guerrilla tactics, mostly going after trade vessels, and leading raids on oil rigs, assuming we haven't moved on from oil as a primary resource. This and online communication with the population will be vital., The creation of a positive image for seasteading will be necessary, considering that we are likely to be branded as child molesting barbarian murderers. Communication with the land lovers is a prerequisite for survival, they will have to believe that we are good peaceful people, which we WILL be, so that the ability of the state to harm us without damaging it's own reputation is minimal., This is my BASIC vision of seasteading, please email me at my address, to have deeper conversations.
