Reading Bakunin's essay on borders and nation states and listening to Muse's soldier's poem at the same time has a combo exponential affect. Just realizing how much injustice there is in the world and how nation states are ripping off their populations just in the name of patriotism. They are acting as nothing more than huge corporations that also have the military power to destroy the monopoly of other corporations. There is so much I wish to write, and so many examples that I have but I really do not know how and where to begin.
But I think I will be writing more on this in real detail soon.

For sometime now, it has been my belief that world should be divided into countries for better management and that should be the only motive for division.Issues of soveignty and freedom would be meaningless then and there will be no war.But its just a belief or a dream, u can say.
ReplyDeleteYup, borders are only required for economic management. But countries are just one form of unit in the heirarchy of division. Collective countries form local unions, and then continents. At smaller scales, there are provinces, states, counties, districts and smaller cities and villages. There are so many units of economic management from continents up to small cities which have further units of managements even divided as sectors or areas. My problem is not with units as they are necessary for management, but with stage where one form of units (countries) take matters in their own hands and bring destruction because of statehood ego.
