I love Canada! I have no problem with Canada.
But I don't think it's fair to consider one nation in isolation; the entire world system has afforded hegemonic states for over a century now. Time to bring it to a close.
- arcticbull 9y agoI agree, I picked a single one, though I could also have pointed at the UK, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, Denmark, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland and so on. Curious what you mean by bringing it to a close, though.
- jMyles 9y agoI mean deprecating the system of state sovereignty in its entirety. I believe this to be the inevitable effect of the internet.
- arcticbull 9y agoInteresting, I think your point about equalization and homogeneity is a likely outcome. I think state sovereignty is interesting when viewed as hundreds of simultaneous experiments in different ways of self-organization. Since it seems nobody has quite perfected it yet (?) I think we're not quite ready yet, though the vision is an enticing one.
