so i was reading this huffpost article about iceland jailing 29 bankers, and it got me thinking, maybe democracy only works on a small, localized scale and under a small government. what does Holla Forums think about the concept of destroying borders by dividing people even more, like into tiny towns and communities, spread out with no cities (to maximize land use) with open borders between the communities? this way we have have a true democracy among a small gubmint and almost no chance for nationalism to rise.

basically what im proposing is libertarianism without capitalism.

lrn 2 libertarian socialism.

Well socialism requires localism, small workers coucils (Soviets) but these can all form a larger bottom-up system for the centralization of production.

I'm not against your general idea, but…

That's an incredibly silly and uninformed statement.

Libertarian socialism exists human.

That's what I assume communism would look like. No?

Although this might work in a post-scarcity society, your proposal seems farfetched. Small communities naturally join forces into nation-states, as history will show. The size may not matter. Maybe it's the culture and ease at which an angry crowd can enact change. Not to mention, without corporate sponsorship of news the real issues can be free of influence by bankers.

Not necessarily into nation-states specifically. Into larger federations of some kind, sure. The formation of the nation-state is a precise historical occurnace within capitalist development.

I think it's retarded.
As i see it, people like you tend to think of themselves as progressives, but in reality they're the most backward of conservatives. You people actually want to go back to feudal times, where various communities were pretty much isolated from each other.
There's a tendency for centralisation in human society, as there's tendency for centralisation in biological organism. You can't do shit about it.

And please, don't throw Marx's words about withering of the state at me. As long as there's industry, there will be a state. Marxists can fap to their anarchist paradise for all i care.

Basically what you are proposing is feudalism without feudals.
In other words, you're late by some 200 years.

hey user you shoud read some fucking BOOKS
