Multiverse Minutiae

It is never one utopia but many utopias. A minarcho-councilist society is the flourishing of many utopias. Many different experiments in living by individuals and communities.  Utopia is not a concrete destination but rather a direction. It is a process or method for shaping societies. Foucault wrote that utopias are not real. He instead wrote of heterotopias places that are nonhomogenous. Places that allow differences to thrive.  We live in an epoch of juxtaposition. That of an interconnected network that is dynamically changing. And so we have the celestial place in turn opposed to the terrestrial place. Foucault points to the Copernican-Galilean de-centering and the resulting paradigm shift. “We live inside a set of relations that delineates sites which are irreducible to one another and absolutely not superimposable on one another.” (Foucault, Of Other Spaces). Heterotopias are world’s within worlds that allow for diversity and pluralism. 

Technocratic minarchists, who would wish to achieved a logical progressive minarchist state would administer it so. One definition of technocracy is “the rule of the people made effective through the agency of their servants, the scientists and engineers" is the best way to define what, at its core, is the main idea of technocratic government. In this sense you would have a minarchy administered by scientific experts, this can be achieved with no departure from the theory of the minimal state.   What may be needed is a not a duty but a right to participate in science. Minarchy is designed to protect citizens rights. What if a social contract included the right to participate in science? This is the basis for a technocratic minarcho-state.  Gone are the days when John Rawls could persuasively ground an elaborate defense of the welfare state on the intuition that anyone uncertain about their place in society would prefer to live in one that promises to protect its members from the w

A night-watchman state or minarchy is a model of a state that is limited and minimal, whose only functions are to act as an enforcer of the non-aggression principle providing citizens with the military, the police and courts, thereby protecting them from aggression, theft, breach of contract, fraud and enforcing property laws. Its proponents are called minarchists. This form of government is mainly associated with libertarianism in the United States, Objectivist, and right-libertarian political philosophy. However, minarchism has also been advocated by non-anarchist libertarian socialists and other left-libertarians. Some anarchists and left-libertarians have also proposed or supported a minimal welfare state on the grounds that social safety nets are short-term goals for the working class. Such minarchists seek to combine worker owned means of production with an "as minimal as posssible" state to ensure the protection of workers and their rights. Some minarchists argue that
