Approximate because while they don’t participate directly in the institutional economy, they rely on platforms enabled by it. But if you squint and pretend platforms are like rainforests, pure internet free agency looks libertarian in structure. Polity of sovereign individuals.

Oddly enough a lot of them are strongly communitarian in every other way. They may not form institutions but they are bursting with Gemeinschaft to make up for lack of Gesellschaft.
