Miguel Afonso Caetano"The problem, however, is that the nation-state is badly broken and no longer working for average people around the world.
Riven by deepening inequalities in education, opportunity, and income, plundered by powerful oligarchs who extract wealth and then move on, corrupted institutionally and constitutionally, the nation-state is failing badly as a guarantor of individual rights, liberty, and prosperity, writes the British Indian author Rana Dasgupta in his new book, After Nations: The Making and Unmaking of a World Order.
And since Trump and his like-minded nationalists also hate globalism or any idea of international governance that leaves most people—the 99.75 percent of human beings on the planet who live in nation-states—with little to protect them and promote their pursuit of happiness.
The human race today is “politically naked,” concludes Dasgupta, a prominent essayist and novelist, in his compelling and brilliantly researched—if decidedly anti-Western—book.
The “nation-state system falls short of the most commonsensical conceptions of equality and justice,” he writes. “Since nation-states have monopolised our political life, that betrayal is existential: we have nothing else.” As a result, “the sensation of progress” developed over many centuries has been “replaced by the anxiety of futurelessness.”
This foreboding sense of “futurelessness” pervades a slew of new books that document the breakdown both of the international order and the national polities that are supposed to be caretakers of that order—but which are instead faltering or failing themselves."

DoomsdaysCWNext up in my book pile -- "#NoSpiritualSurrender - Indigenous #Anarchy" by #KleeBenally, (2023) "#PrairieFire - The Politics of Revolutionary #AntiImperialism" by #TheWeatherUnderground (1974), and "#Antifa - The #AntiFascist Handbook" by #MarkBray (2017).
I've posted excerpts from Klee's book in the past (which I will re-boost). Both Klee and Mark Bray are in agreement as to who the real enemy is -- the forces of #Colonialism and #WhiteSupremacy.
Bray writes, "The only long-term solution to the fascist menace is to undermine its pillar of strength in society grounded not only in white supremacy, but also in #ableism, #heteronormativity, #patriarchy, #nationalism, #transphobia, #ClassRule, and many others," (Antifa, page 209), and offers up #Socialism, which is #Antiauthoritarian and #NonHierarchical as a solution.
And indeed, 1974's Prairie Fire, paints a similar picture, offering up a map of North America before and after #Colonization. (And yes, I would love to scan in all the illustrations and tables, but unfortunately, the 1974 copy is well-read and very delicate. It belonged to a coven-mate and fellow activist friend, who left it to me when they passed away -- along with a slew of other radical and pagan books). I did find some archived versions, sans illustrations, online.

I find this absolutely bloody terrifying. America’s “defence secretary,” shown here with his collection of tattoos. A Jerusalem Cross from the Crusades, and “Deus Vult” (God Wills It) frequently used by far right groups.
Trump isn’t a president. He’s the head of a cult, and Hegseth is a deranged henchman…

@EUCommission I expect you to not just utter these "fine words" but act upon them!
- By pushing for a #Europe that is unified and strong through diversity and pluralism and that bot only denounces #nationalism and #racism but universally welcomes everyone who &vows loyality to the values of the #EU*!
- Values like #Peace, #HumanRights, #CivilRights and #Democracy!
It's your turn…
