Nanarchists are usually individualist anarchists (or anarchocapitalists) who believe that current sociotechnic development has made possible the realization of their political dreams on a grand scale.

Fusion power, cheap space travel, robotics, and nanotechnology allow humans to escape dependence on mass-statist movements like dictatorship, democracy, or socialism; these technologies are the machinery of freedom. In an economy without scarcity or borders, it is unlikely that anarchy will degenerate into war. Nanarchists don’t tend to be very active in politics, but they are among those in the forefront of homesteading L5 and the deep beyond.

A nanarchist quirk is a dislike for D-He-3 reactors compared to earlier lithium-jacketed D-T reactors. The former require resources which, if not scarce, require special effort to extract. The latter run on much cheaper elements, and hence allow for greater independence and freedom from scarcity.
