By Gijsbert Koren: "A tribe is a group of people, who are connected with each other through a leader and an idea. It’s in the nature of people to be part of a tribe. Thanks to the internet, geographical boundaries are no longer existing; creating the opportunity for tribes to flourish and grow. Artists and entrepreneurs, who are crowdfunding ...

David de Ugarte: "A phyle is a confederation — which is to say, a network with no higher structure — of conversational communities with their own companies, which share a series of common funds in a transnational space: basically, “social security” and mutual economic support systems."(https://english.lasindias.com/why-we-are-not-yet-a-phyle-and-wh...
David de Ugarte: "they are not companies linked to a community, but transnational communities that have acquired enterprises in order to gain continuity in time and robustness. They are phyles. Phyles may function democratically and be cooperative-based, as in the case of the Indianos, or else they may have a small-business structure and even a rel...
In Phyles, Community precedes Enterprise
David de Ugarte: "Recognition and hierarchy do not go well together. Forced cohesion tends to dissolve in a world wherenothing is easier than jumping from one network toanother own, than identifying with and plunging within analternative context. Netocrat companies tend towardshorizontality and the almost complete lack of hierarchies,as these are counterproductive when it comes to attainingthe kind of incentives which motivate netocrats. For thisreasons, Juan Urrutia proposesdifferentiating t...
Phyles are Transnational
"A phyle is not a subset of the imaginary national identity. Asa political space, if something defines its frontiers, it is thelanguages in which the internal debate takes place. Thereare no Spanish, Cameroonian, or Chinese phyles. Thereare phyles working in Latin, Bantu, or Chinese languages,but the frontiers of the community are not determined bybelonging to a nationality or a state."(http://deugarte.com/gomi/phyles.pdf)
Phyles are marked by Abundance Logic
David de Ugarte: "Abundance logic is a seminal concept introduced by Juan Urrutia in 2002 as the basis on which to understand what was then known as the "new economy". The classic example is the comparison between newspapers and the blogosphere. In a newspaper, with a limited paper surface, publishing one more line in an article entails suppressing a line somewhere else as in a zero-sum game. By contrast, in the blogosphere, a space where the social cost of an extra post is zero, any blogger'...
A short definition of phyles
David de Ugarte: "So, that is what we call phyle: not a community of enterprises nor a community of people working in some enterprises, but a community who owns democratic enterprises for ensuring everyone's well-being and provided autonomy to our most appreciated good: our common conversation as way of developing knowledge."
Phyles are Transnational by nature
David de Ugarte: "One of the most important characteristics of phyles istheir transnational nature. Phyles don't think, or arethought, from the nation or from the state. The We in a phyle has no national adjectives. Thecohesion born within the fraternity of a community and,even further within it, from the equality of the demosignores the dividing lines between imaginary nationalcommunities. If there is something a full member of a phyle isvery clear about, it is the phyle demos and its origin...
Phyles and Coops
Las Indias, on their own project as an example: "the main question is that the phyle is a distributed network of people formed from transnational deliberative process who develop an identity alternative to national identity and then build up an Economy for themselves. So, Indiano's phyle have coops (where we work), have associations, it takes part in foundations, have shares in limited companies and even in corporations... The only subject of property is the phyle as itself. We could close to...
Neal Gorenflo interviewed David de Ugarte at OuiShareFest 2014: "OS: YOU HAVE DEVELOPED THE CONCEPT OF “PHYLES,” OR “COMMUNITY COMPANIES.” WHY IS IT SO RELEVANT? A community company is a business that organizes itself from and to give sustenance to, a community of people, whatever kind it may be: a family and it surroundings, a group of friends dis...
Kevin Carson: "Back in the late ’90s, cyberpunk writer Neal Stephenson introduced the concept of “phyles” in The Diamond Age. Phyles filled the void left after encryped commerce and digital currencies had deprived the Westphalian nation-state of most of its revenues, and most of the world’s states were either substantially hollowed out or had collapsed altogether into Balkanized collections of city-states. The phyle was a distributed, non-geographically-based, global civil society, providing...

1. Gideon Kossoff: "Cosmopolitan Localism is the theory and practice of inter-regional and planet-wide net-working between place-based communities who share knowledge, technology, and re-sources. It offers a timely and powerful alternative to globalization: the planet-wide process through which human affairs –in particular, economies ...
