Seceding
Claim
- The nation-state is obsolete and even dangerous. Groups of people should be allowed to secede from their existing nations and form their own local political units, based on whatever values they prefer, mediated perhaps by several single-purpose world government agencies (arms control, environment, etc). The right of free secession might thus supersede economic principles of free markets, free trade and other past freedoms in providing a founding principle for a postmodern economic order.
