Everyone is hating on little city states like they are the bastion of human exploitation, unlike cough most Western societies in the past couple centuries cough. I guess no one realizes what happened in Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, and even the US just a bit over half a century ago. Hundreds of millions killed over political whim, anyone? Nothing Peter Theilians or even Scientologists can concoct in these seasteads will ever compare to the horror enacted by nation states the last century. I'd say the historical record is entirely in favor of city states for safeguarding human life.
