Patchwork: Difference between revisions

'''Patchwork''', also called '''Urbism''' or '''Ultramunicipalism''', is a political ideology that seeks the maximum possible increase in City-States and Microstates in general. Ideally seeing a world in which every locality is its own sovereign state.

 

The first states in human history were formed primarily around urban and agricultural centers and were at a first way smaller than the modern nation-state. A case in which a number of these states formed yet one state failed to conquer and subjugate all the other states can be considered the first example of a working urbist system, as can be seen in Ancient and Classical Greece.

 

In the 21st century the notion of organizing the world around city-states and microstates became popular among a number of political circles, including [[File:Libertarian.png]] [[Libertarianism|Libertarian]], [[File:Nrx.png]] [[Neoreactionarism|Neoreactionary]] and local nationalist circles. Notably including the right-wing blogger Mencius Moldbug who coined the term "Patchwork" to describe the system in which a specific region is made up entirely of microstates. Patchwork is also popular among the HK pro-democracy camp, with many believing that the only way to have full democracy without PRC overriding their actions is to make HK fully independent.

 

In an urbist system, all localities on within a region have their own jurisdiction residing over them and primarily only them, in an even more radical version of this system this is even applied to the seas and oceans.

A common for a patchwork system is the belief that ''market competition'' over competing states creates an incentive for good leadership over a polity, as such the opportunity to compete within a market framework should be maximized as much as possible. Under this argument, patchwork is commonly combined with [[File:Neocam.png]] [[Neocameralism]], the belief that the state itself should be run for profit under a joint-stock framework.

 

 

Another argument for ultramunicipalism is the belief that the nation is too much of an artificial unit to base sovereignty around as compared to the much more "real" unit of the city, and as such it would make more sense to base sovereignty on the city rather than the nation.

The primary strategy for people who align themselves with patchwork is generally taken to be ''unconditional secessionism'' at all times, supporting every secession movement and every single break-away state that there is, including those that are not ideologically aligned with the movement.

 

Another proposal for creating a society of independent city-states is ''seasteading'', meaning creating new settlements in the sea away from the reach of current states.

 

Patchwork as a character isn't usually portrayed in any unified character. Although he can, but doesn't have to be shown as an enthusiast for microstates currently in the world as an enthusiast for creating micronations.

 

Patchwork's design was created by the discord user '''Kapitein Kanker#7156''', on the Polcompball discord. The grey represents city infrastructure while the blue represents the seas on which city-states form on.
