Yeah, I don’t particularly care if economists think it will boost global GDP by 10x, I’m never going to be on board with that. Abolishing borders is essentially the same as abolishing nations, and in that case who has the power then? Certainly not me, or anyone that has anything in common with me. Our “democracy” sucks enough as it is, why the hell would I want to sell out national sovereignty to global capitalist interests? Honestly, I’d rather make a change in the opposite direction and have governments that actually represent their people at the cost of halving global GDP, if that’s what it takes. There are many more important things than money.
