Quote by: grandpa The existence of countries is the ultimate problem, as libertarians have long understood -- though the nationalist Ron Paul apparently does not.

I think I see were you are coming from. Not all libertarians are anarchists who won't to dispose of national sovereignty. It would be nice as people without borders, but I think it is still ideal

It's completely nonsensical to expect people to "fix their own country" when dealing with an international system. The problem is that it will also be possible to declare one group as the problem and another as the solution -- and this so-called "national unity" is at the core of fascist ideology.

I think we are perceiving this different. Paul is not declaring one group as the problem, but the welfare state. Supporting illegal immigrants who have "the right" to health care comes at the taxpayers expense.

So the solution is to undermine the fascist ideology which underlies national citizenship. Until tendencies toward this end become greater, the problems in all countries will likely grow until civilization collapses under its own weight.

I guess if you hold this view, then every national leader is a fascist. America's has some of the most relaxed immigration laws for a developed country and the only developed country to offer citizenship via anchor babies.

By your logic, if you are going to call Paul a fascist, then all political leaders are fascists.
