RE: Why Citizenship and National Sovereignty are Obsolete
- Oh, I don't think any politician would embrace my idea. For one thing, it's an idea that takes power away from politicians.
- You're right about an overnight transition from nothing but coercive States to zero coercive States - it would no doubt involve a lot of turmoil, some of it violent. The answer is to build non-coercive, voluntary mechanisms and services that operate in parallel, then let them completely supplant the violent political models worldwide.
- Since you asked, I think H. Clinton should be in prison as a war criminal, whereas Trump hasn't had the opportunity to be one - yet.
- I voted libertarian once when I was about 20. (I put that down to youthful naivety.) In the nearly 40 years since then I am proud to say I have never voted for any coercer in any political election. Politics (including Democracy) is just power from the barrel of a gun. In the US the Red Team and Blue Team are both loaded with war criminals and corruption. But I know most people would give their personal endorsement to either Hitler or Mao if those were the two names on a ticket. That's how evil gets power - it says it's the lesser of two choices and then people line up to endorse it.
