I find it ironic, and just a bit confusing, to see an “anarchist” waxing poetic about national identity; as though anything could be less meaningful in the anarchist lexicon than those f*cking arbitrary delineations of conquest and subjugation drawn on maps by all manner of kings, tyrants, and usurpers.

I’m not going to bother wasting five minutes of my life watching the video linked via the National Anarchist Revolution! blog, primarily because NumbersUSA peddles a lot of borderline-bogus, alarmist, jingoistic “statistics” in support of their arguments.  I’ve taken them to task on this junk-science in the past, and that will suffice for me, thank you very much.

There will always be scarcity, but if it were possible to create a localized superabundance, any decent man, genuinely concerned with the plight of the poorest among us, would wait a little bit longer to get there, so that others could feast at that table, too.

I do not mean to imply that freedom of immigration would solve all of the world’s problems, although I do believe it would go a long way towards achieving that goal.

En français, dessous du pli

Voici un “anarchiste” qui admire l’identité nationale (je la trouve ironique, peu confondant), comme si quelque chose pourrait-être moins significante aux anarchistes que les délineations arbitraire ou de conquête, dessiné aux cartes mondiales par les rois, les tyrants, les générales et les usurpers.

A la blog National Anarchist Revolution!, on trouve un video par NumbersUSA.  Je ne l’ai pas vu (et Je ne vais pas prendre la peine d’en regarder), parce que NumbersUSA cites les statistiques fausses, cocardiers, et alarmistes pour éprouver les arguments.

Je ne veut pas dire que l’immigration libré soit la solution aux toutes les problèmes dans le monde, bien que Je croit que l’immigration libré nous aide à amener plus près du but.
