There have been many attempts and proposals to create a libertarian utopia in the context of right libertarianism. Anthony van Fossen writes that every tax haven is a variation on the theme of the sovereign right-libertarian utopia.
Alex Tabarrok argues that the Pacific Islands have seen several attempts, such as the Republic of Minerva. Charter cities have been another proposal for breaking out of conventional political arrangements to create a system with much greater scope for innovation in rules. Robert Nozick's book Anarchy, State and Utopia contains a final chapter that describes a pluralistic libertarian utopia.
A theoretical libertarian utopia based specifically on anarcho-capitalism is sometimes called by the name Ancapistan a combination of the terms 'ancap' and the suffix 'stan'.
Proposals for an anarcho-capitalist society are regarded by Drieu Godefridi as "inherently utopian". David Boaz has argued that the consumer choice facilitated by a free market system would create a framework that could offer "thousands of versions of utopia to suit the desires of different people".

Heiko Schrang (born 1969 in Berlin, Germany) is a German author and businessmen.
Life
Schrang worked as a real estate agent since 1990 in Berlin. He claims to be budhist, describes himself as an enlightened one of the "light of truth".
Business
Schrang worked as an author and published "The Lie of the Century" in 2013 and "In the Sign of Truth" in 2017. His books were published by his own publishing house. In Mai 2021 Christian Stöcker (Der Spiegel) wrote, that the "conspiracy-theory-businesmen" Schrang, Jürgen Elsässer, Ken Jebsen and other will take up the yellow vest movement next for their. purposes.
Schrang runs a Telegram-chanel (81.000 - 85.000 followers). Schrang's logo is a circle with a dot in the middle. Schrang calls the symbol a “sign of truth”. Since the summer of 2020, Schrang's logo and lettering can often be seen on T-shirts, hats and sweaters at the demonstrations of Querdenker movement.

Variantology has been conceived as an international research project with the aim of developing a critical appraisal of the established concepts of “media”. The concept of a medium is thus opened up to approaches and disciplines that up to now have remained outside the contemporary discourse on media, such as theology, various musicology, aspects of natural sciences, fine arts or classical philology. Furthermore, it is opened up to cultures of knowledge that have long been excluded from the western discourse, like the oriental and Arabic-Islamic culture. Variantology also attempts to explore how reciprocally these disciplines then become open to thinking in categories and terms of media and communication. Consequently, the network of research that constitutes the Variantology project involves scholars based in academic institutions as well as artists, musicians and authors.
Theoretical basis
To come to a different understanding of media, a central part of research is the development of a network of scientists, artists and scholars who are engaged with the "deep time relations“ between arts, sciences, and technologies. The term "deep time relations“ refers to the notion of being a plurality of traversals through the genealogy of what we call media today. The underlying theoretical center is Michel Foucault’s concept of genealogy, which he developed from Friedrich Nietzsche’s thinking about morality as a historical- and social-generated construction. However, Foucault differs from his predecessor in that Nietzsche believed these constructions were rooted in psychological drives based on differing psychological types. In this sense, Foucault borrows from Nietzsche but diverges from Nietzsche's philosophical naturalism.
Foucault's approach in this connection was to comprehend history as a constitution of knowledge, of discourses, of objectification and so on, detached from an idea of historical subjects and previously unquestioned categories of Western (Eurocentric) culture and power. This is not to say that ethnocentrism is only a Western phenomenon; there is debate as to whether eurocentrism is an ethnocentric term, given that Western models of thought have aimed to incorporate non-native elements to a much larger degree than have non-Western cultures and systems of power. What has changed is the focus: how media have developed within a Western context (e.g. technological advancements, socio-political effects) is studied alongside the histories, practices, and effects in non-Western countries. This study is complicated within media studies as distinctions between Western and non-Western cultures continue to diminish under the influence of international corporations, law, trade, and communications. But how regional cultures incorporate non-native elements while maintaining their local cultural identity remains an important area of research.
Workshops and publications
An integral part of the project is the annual international workshop. The first three Variantology workshops were held at Academy of Media Arts Cologne, the fourth one at UdK in Berlin, and the 5th at Biblioteca Nazionale Vittorio Emanuele III in Naples, Italy.
