1. People confuse late-stage capitalism for the reality of late-stage socialism or, more specifically, late-stage central banking.
2. The point “economic protest isn’t possible in the current system” is technically correct and best heeded by all, but it’s outdated in practice because now we have a new system that is itself a peaceful, economic protest…Bitcoin. nostr:note16atnmk8hatvst224nf7ld9xhxk08lkfqtqefl7f50upd0d9tc5ksjnc495
To be fair, even a lot of people claiming to be libertarians or anarchists or capitalists don't fully get what it means. Most try grafting on a "right" political bias.
Abolish government? Yay!
Abolish borders? Noooo...
But the two are inseparable.
Free movement of capital can't exist while the movement of people is regulated.
I would just say that it must be in that order:
Abolish government, then public borders along with it. Those trying to abolish the government piecemeal starting with the border are fools. Entitlements, services, enforcement, THEN the border makes a stateless society. Rearrange any of those you create chaos. Either way, this is all a mental exercise because the governed never abolish the government. The only hope is a strong alternative to make the government obsolete and ineffectual.
