Against the reactionaries, I hold this to be excellent. Let us celebrate a new nomad age. This is the age of great possibilities. The welfare state and technocratic state have been subverted. We are all nomads now.

Can't really agree with that conclusion. Seems more likely that the EU and Europe are, in fact, so misgoverned that the most basic of state functions fail to be applied. This happened before to other states. Not so much stateless, but on the process of becoming stateless, maybe.
-
I think that in attempting something new, transnational governance (for want of a better word), the EU weakened the existing states while often not substituting anything for their functions. The EU is part utopian project, part instrument of US imperialism, & part ad hoc mess.

Agree on all counts. But you have to admit that the EU is a project of European governance no? It's just a really, really bad one that is in a straight path to disaster.
-
Yes, of course. I don’t think I suggested otherwise, although maybe I did. I don’t know if it’s a straight path for disaster. It’s in a lot of trouble, and I don’t think it will survive. Whether or not it’s a disaster is open at the moment.
