I was born and raised in Liechtenstein, a nation often overlooked in the world stage, yet rich with contradictions that reveal larger truths about sovereignty, freedom, and community. My work — both in writing and in political thought — has been guided by a conviction that independence means more than legal borders or financial privilege. It must be lived and practiced in the daily structures of economy, society, and culture.
I identify as a Marxist-anarchist, a political outlook that combines Marxism’s scientific analysis of class and capitalism with anarchism’s insistence on freedom, decentralization, and the abolition of hierarchy. Marxism provides the tools to understand how exploitation functions, while anarchism reminds us that liberation cannot come through authoritarian means. Together, they shape my belief that any real transformation must come from below — from workers, communities, and ordinary people organizing themselves without dependence on rulers, princes, or oligarchs.
Through my essays, I attempt to analyze the limits of our current order and point toward a different path: one based not on dependence upon wealth from abroad, but on the solidarity and labor of our own people. The inspiration comes not only from Liechtenstein’s unique position, but also from the struggles of other communities — from the Paris Commune, which proved the potential of small societies, to the cooperative traditions that show us how work and ownership can be democratized.
My vision is neither utopian nor abstract. It grows from the lived reality of a small state caught between larger powers, and from the belief that even the smallest community can take responsibility for itself. As a writer, I seek to give form to this idea: that a Liechtenstein based on solidarity and democracy can serve as an example, however modest, of what freedom might mean in practice.
