    Group defense of member rights and jurisdictional territory is not socialism, it has nothing to do with ownership of property or the means of production.
    When that group infringes upon my own personal territory/property, it is in fact socialism/communism. "Jurisdictional territory"? You, sir, are a commie.

    I would much rather have my Natural Right to Travel Freely without Fed intervention, and the costs associated with it, than funnel people in through the gates to be legally "documented" in order for immigrants to Fund the Fed via income tax and eligible for .gov programs.

    I state my case. You are a nationalist-communist, no matter how you slice it. Whatever will grow Fed.gov, you are an enabler.

    You will not have any liberty (except I suppose YOU might as a party hack) once the invaders impose communism.

    There is no anarchotopia and you know it, tyrants always form groups and use them to defeat individuals in detail.

    I oppose that which will grow government and support that which will reduce it, you support what will grow government and impose communism on the whole world.

    Time to hit the hay. Meantime, hit your script book. There's gotta be something in there about reducing the size of government while massively increasing it ;-)

    There are different types forms of Nationalism.
    I saw people on the internet who claim to be Nationalists but they support single payer healthcare.
    Some bad people have hijacked the label. I personally like Cultural nationalism.

    He won't wake-up. I cited specific examples in Post #18, he claimed I "cherry picked" and completely evaded responding to them. Notice how he avoids anything to do with "Follow the Money".

    Yes, immigrants caused this by shifting the political balance in this direction for generations.

    You're blaming "There ought to be a law" over legislation and "bomb 'em back to ancient Athenian Democracy" warmongering and Modern Monetary Mularkey on immigrants?

    Yes, but those aren't what we are talking about, we are talking about the lockdowns.
    Immigrants with bad political culture have been polluting our culture since the 1840s at least.

    Every time I read an intellectual defending nationalism I think to myself; “Have these people not studied history?” Haven’t we been here before?

    DBx: The alternative to nationalism is not, as is believed by many, one-world government. Nor is the alternative a romantic transformation of human beings into loving members of the giant family “Humankind.”

    The alternative to nationalism is individualism. And of course by individualism is not meant atomism. By individualism is meant liberalism, as this term was originally understood.

    Liberalism rejects the notion that society, the nation, and the market are sentient creatures with preferences and goals and feelings and expectations. Liberalism recognizes that choices are made only by individuals and that experiences are had – are sensed, are expected, are evaluated – only by individuals. Liberalism regards the individual as the measure of all things social.

    And – pay close attention collectivists of all stripes – true liberals not only recognize, but celebrate, the fact that individuals use their freedom to act in ways that create bonds of cooperation with other individuals.

    Some of these bonds, such as those that form the family, are intimate and understandable to the human mind. Other of these bonds, such as most of those that are formed by commerce, are “arms’-length.” But all of these bonds are natural, in the sense that they arise from human nature.

    The full pattern of commercial bonds that make possible modern society are designed by no one and undesignable by anyone. And so to understand complex commercial bonds requires an active application of human intelligence. Whether it be from inability or unwillingness, many people – including many intelligent people – refuse to apply their intelligence to understand the nature of these complex commercial bonds. These people, fearing what they do not understand, lash out at extensive commerce. They blame it for ills that it does not cause, and they refuse to credit it for the countless benefits that it does bring.

    Nationalism – by creating the false impression that the nation is a large family with interests ultimately opposed by foreigners – artificially obstructs individuals’ efforts to form peaceful, productive commercial ties with each other if those ties happen to cross political boundaries.

    It’s stupid. It’s dangerous. It’s nationalism.
