[quote=briansd1]Arraya, maybe the nation-state needs to be abolished along with capitalism.

Karl Polyani showed in his magnum opus, The Great Transformation(which is still famous book in the social sciences even though it was published in the early 40s) , that the nation state is a capitalist structure. Meaning the nation-state came into existence as a necessity of capitalism.

I think, as I’ve stated before in many ways, that we are at the tail end of global capitalism and starting a transition to a new system much like the industrial revolution was a transition away from feudalism, but in a much shorter time period. I think the dissolution of capitalism and the nation-state is inevitable.

for fun, do a google news search on any given day of “police clash with protesters”. The size and frequency of protesting and rioting has been increasing steadily since 2008(ok I have problems, I monitor global unrest with google;).
