Timothy Allen speaks with Massimo Mazzone

Massimo Mazzone is the founder of Ciudad Morazán. We talk about the growing Free City movement and the idea that you don’t need libertarians to create a libertarian society. Massimo discusses how decentralized, intentional communities are expanding since 2020, moving the Overton window, and attracting people seeking autonomy and freedom. He explains the legal and political challenges facing ZEDEs in Honduras, the growth of Morazán despite pandemic setbacks, and the role of private governance in shaping cooperative, self-sustaining communities.

The conversation also touches on network states, diaspora-driven community building, and the potential for entrepreneurial communications (“Entrecom”) to scale these free city experiments globally.

Enjoy the conversation.
