: Samuel, my dear chap,: The premise of your entire programme is thinly veiled imperialism. Let us review this rather remarkable admission.
: : "Personally, I am and always have been an anarchist; biased towards Schumacher-like "small is beautiful" communities based around voluntary co-operation; I believe the nation state to be an artificial and unwieldy construction."
: : Any suggestions?
: As Lord Acton so aptly noted, "absolute power corrupts absolutely". So here, the call for the abolishment of the nation-state is, by default, an insistence on a world-state. That is, an unopposed world rule under one leader.
Utter crap, Robert; I believe in no leaders.
That's no leaders, big or small. No-one with any intrinsic elevation in status above their fellows. No political leaders, no politicians, no bosses, no religious leaders, no primates, no bishops, no popes.
Is that so utterly alien to you?
:Is this not a clear admission of world colonial rule under another name? It is indeed the desire to install (and to former colonials to reinstall) a monarch.
Nope. Monarchs of any sort are bad news as far as I'm concerned.
