Wow, such democracy. Much freedom of movement.

Under a capitalist society, freedom of movement can only refer to the movement of capital, and by extension, maybe, goods.

But never people.

And since now Western Empire sees irregular migration as a form of hybrid warfare, it is even worse.

It is not even "you can't move", it is "your movement is an act of war."

@ali @aral Capitalism didn’t invent the practice of countries restricting the movements of their internal populations. It was in fact pretty common in feudalism (think serfs) or countries with Chinese-style imperial bureaucracy (where you needed a pass to travel between provinces).

@MisuseCase @ali @aral Capitalism was an imperfect transition from feudalism that can readily backslide once a ruling class establishes itself.

@threetails @ali @aral Well, maybe.

The point is that not every bad and oppressive thing is a product of capitalism. Some of those things predate capitalism or just plain don’t depend on it.

Irregular migration?!? Please define "irregular".

@Gerd_Brodowski @ali @aral I understand "irregular migration" to refer to the act of crossing an international border by a human being without official permission from the authorities. The difference between "irregular" and "illegal" migration is seeking asylum is irregular but not illegal.
