Considering today's total craziness of the world, I believe that only "cloud-type" communities/groups with their own economy but with no ties to any territory have a chance of success. The only thing that would matter in that group would be the group's survival and growth, the rest will be maximally flexible as long as it contributed to the main goal.

I'm not really sure what you have in mind. But considering today's total craziness a wandering band would be rather susceptible to violence, and like gypsies, never fully trusted or welcome anywhere. People with no territorial ties still have to live somewhere... And to cross into different territories requires citizenship, passports and such.

And how does a group like this have its own economy? They can't just trade with one another. They'll have to produce something and trade outside the group for what they can't produce. That means they need the local currency and perhaps ID's, licenses or permits etc.

I'm not trying to tear you down here, but maybe you could be a bit more specific with what you had in mind.

Zoom groups, meetups, or more like Github, or LinkedIn?

Or individuals/businesses that act a full vertical (co-work consultant types)?

I would call them just groups of people interacting with each other and feeling themselves to be one group, being "one of their own". Then they should be able to build their own internal economy - be it business, political gains or other ways.
As I mentioned in my comment below, international ethnic groups, religious communities or even organized criminal groups have somewhat resembling features for this

@testiculi I think, fundamentally, such groups can't exist for any extended period or through various changes necessary in dynamic societies. Coming together for a specific purpose and then disbanding and reconstituting with different members for the next purpose seems beneficial - except in the face of a concerted effort by large organizations (socio, economic, or political) to exert influence.
